OFFENSIVE ACHIEVEMENT

When Head Coach Bill Callahan took the reins at _
Nebraska for the 2004 season he brought with him
one of the most explosive offensive systems in the
sport - the West Coast Offense. During his time in the
NFL, Callahan’s Oakland Raiders operated out of the
West Coast Offense and exploited opposing defenses
with a multiple attack. In fact, during a three-season
span, the Oakland offense went from leading the
NFL in rushing (2000) to placing first in the league
in passing (2002). In 2002, the Raiders became the
first team to win games in the same season while
rushing at least 60 times and passing at least 60
times. The Raiders capped 2002 by capturing the
AFC crown, before losing to Tampa Bay in Super Bow!
XXXVII.

Callahan’s success in the West Coast Offense
translated well for Nebraska. The Huskers made
remarkable strides on offense in their third year

in 2006, Nebraska was ranked among the Big 12 and nation’s best offenses at converting Red Zone

under Callahan in 2006. Nebraska was one of only opportunities into touchdowns. The Huskers converted 44-of-51 red zone trips into scores, an 86.3
three schools nationally to rank in the top 25 in percent success rate. In conference play, NU was even more impressive, converting 23-of-24 red zone

2007 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL DEFENSIVE DOMINANCE

One of the Huskers’ most well-known traditions is the
Blackshirts, which has become the common nickname
for Nebraska's defensive unit. The term originally
dates back to the early 1960s and refers to the black
jerseys that Nebraska's first-string defenders wear in
practice.

With the return of the two-platoon system in

college football in 1964, the Huskers were

preparing for a game at Minnesota, and

Head Coach Bob Devaney was looking for a

way to distinguish the different defensive

units on the practice fields. Devaney dispatched
assistant coach Mike Corgan'to a local sporting goods
store to find some “contrast jerseys,” a sleeveless
pullover that went on top of the players’ practice
jerseys. While the top offensive unit practiced in
red jerseys and the second-string offense worked in
green pullovers, the first string defense wore black
pullovers and the second string wore the contrasting
gold jerseys.

The term began to catch on during Monte Kiffin’s Members of the top defensive unit receive their Blackshirts the week of the season opener. Until

tenure as defensive coordinator in the mid-1970s, recent years, the jersey was left hanging in a player's locker before the start of the week’s practice.
before the Blackshirts earned national acclaim The jerseys are now distributed to the Blackshirts in a team ceremony and are presented to all first-

COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S WINNINGEST PROGRAM SINCE 1970

Over the course of the last decade, Nebraska has
enjoyed more NFL defensive draft picks than any
team in the Big 12. Nine of NU’s 35 selections in the
last 10 years have come during current defensive
coordinator Kevin Cosgrove’s tenure. Even when
not drafted, Husker Blackshirts continually find
success at the sport’s highest levels, as 25 former
Nebraska defenders are currently playing in the
NEL.

NEBRASKA FOOTBALL IN THE NEL
Nebraska: owns one of the most glorious histories
of any school with players in the National Football
League. Nearly 300 former Huskers have represented
Nebraska in the NFL. Over the past 10 years, Nebraska
has led all Big 12 schools with 56 players chosen
during the NFL Draft. No other conference school has
had 45 players chosen over the past 10 seasons.
The Huskers have been especially impressive with
defensive players, with 35 chosen in the last 10 years.
No other Big 12 school has more than 23.

Bob Brown became Nebraska’s third inductee in the
Pro Football Hall of Fame in August of 2004, joining
Guy Chamberlin and William (Roy) Lyman.

Will Shields, an 11-time Pro Bowl lineman for the
Kansas City Chiefs, was named the NFL Man of the
Year in 2003 and is widely expected to be a future Hall
of Famer after retiring this spring.

2007 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL | CHAMPIONSHIP TRADITION

Few college athletic programs can boast the
national championship resume of Nebraska football.
Since 1970, Nebraska has captured five national
championships, and played for a national title in a
bow! game on four other occasions. The Huskers are
one of only three college football teams to win five
national championships since 1970, and one of only
six to capture at least three titles.

ALL-TIME GREATS

Following the 1949 season, the N Club voted to retire
jersey No. 60 in honor of Tom “Train Wreck” Novak's
stellar career with the Cornhuskers. Novak, the first
Nebraska player to earn this honor, had been a four-
time All-Big Seven choice and a 1949 All-American.

For 55 years, Novak was the only NU player to have the
distinction of a retired number. In 2004, that finally
changed as College and Pro Football Hall of Famer
Bob Brown's No. 64 joined Novak’s hallowed No. 60
among the permanently retired numbers at Nebraska.
Brown, whose jersey retirement ceremony occurred
during NU’s game with Colorado in 2004, became
the 16th player in Husker history to have his jersey
retired.

All major national award winners at Nebraska
automatically have their jerseys retired, but their
numbers will still be available to active Huskers.

Nebraska's group of 16 players with retired jerseys
certainly ranks among the best in the nation. Huskers
who have earned the distinction of jersey retirement
include three Heisman Trophy winners (Johnny
Rodgers, Mike Rozier, Eric Crouch), seven Outland
Trophy winners with eight awards (Larry Jacobson,
Rich Glover, Dave Rimington (2), Dean Steinkuhler, Will
Shields, Zach Wiegert, Aaron Taylor), four Lombardi
Award winners (Rich Glover, Dave Rimington, Dean
Steinkuhler, Grant Wistrom), one Johnny Unitas
Golden Arm Award winner (Tommie Frazier), one Davey
O'Brien Award winner (Crouch), one Butkus Award
winner (Trev Alberts) and one Rimington Trophy winner
(Dominic Raiola).

Nebraska's most recently retired
jersey was Bob Brown's (right)
#64, which was permanently retired
following his introduction into

the Pro Football

Hall of Fame

in 2004.

2007 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL NEBRASKA GAME DAY

Game days at Nebraska are unlike any in college
football. Fans line the streets of Lincoln waiting to
enter the “Sea of Red,” while the marching band
parades up Stadium Drive as thousands of red-clad
fans look on. The Huskers emerge from the famous
“Tunnel Walk” to the sound of “Sirius” and the fans
stay at a frenzied pitch until the final play of the
game when they graciously cheer for the opposing
players as they exit the field.

“One of Nebraska's newest traditions began in 2005, when the Huskers joined the student
section and the Cornhusker marching band in singing “There is No Place Like Nebraska” after
each victory.

_ The Horseshoe

- For as long as anyone can remember, the Huskers have touched a lucky horseshoe on their way from the locker
room to the field. The horseshoe hangs above the door as Nebraska leaves the North Stadium, just as it hung in
the South Stadium tunnel before.

Tunnel Walk 5 “Coming down that tunnel for the first time, it’s

a few could do before HuskerVision’s cameras and big screens came to Memorial Stadium. The sounds of the Alan

Nebraska football fans are perhaps the most loyal in
college football. An entire state follows the Huskers,
along with an ever-growing national fan base,
packing Memorial Stadium for every game since
1962. Husker fans bring their show on the road as
well. More than 60,000 red-clad Huskers trekked
to Pasadena for the 2002 Rose Bowl, and in 2001,
more than 30,000 Huskers swarmed South Bend for
a matchup with Notre Dame. This past season, the
Husker Nation again outdid itself as nearly 30,000
Nebraska fans descended on the Coliseum in Los
Angeles to watch the Husker contest with USC.

Every entrance at Memorial Stadium welcomes
Husker fans with the following phrase:

“Through these gates pass the Greatest Fans in
College Football,”

“The greatest asset to this University is our fan
base. We're grateful for the people who get up on
Saturday mornings, don their red and cheer.”

A NATIONAL APPROACH:

NEBRASKA'S REGRUITING POWER
Nebraska has always taken a national approach to
recruiting and the 2007 roster is a perfect example
with players from 22 states, including 53 homegrown
Huskers, 18 from California and 11 from Texas. Over
the past three seasons, the Huskers have signed 43
high school players from 13 states who ranked among
the top 50 in the nation at their respective position.

In the history of the program, Nebraska’s 92 football
All-Americans hail from 23 states and the District
of Columbia. NU boasts seven All-Americans from
California, while Texas has sent 10 All-Americans to
Nebraska, led by Outland winner Aaron Taylor and two-
time All-Americans Broderick Thomas and Jake Young.

The Nebraska program has been built by the best
players in the state. A staggering 37 Nebraska natives
have become All-Americans at NU. Heisman Trophy
winners Eric Crouch and Johnny Rodgers are both
Omaha natives, as is two-time Outland Trophy and
Lombardi Award winner Dave Rimington.

New Jersey sent Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier,
NFL No. 1 pick Irving Fryar, Lombardi winner Rich Glover
and two-time All-American Daryl White to Nebraska.

All-American Tommie Frazier, who led Nebraska to
national titles in 1994 and 1995, came to the Big Red
from Florida, as did All-America defensive back Wonder
Monds, and recent NFL stars Fabian Washington and
Tyrone Williams.

Outland Trophy winner Will Shields came to Nebraska
from Oklahoma, before going on to one of the greatest
careers by an offensive lineman in NFL history.

All time, Nebraska football letterwinners have come
from 45 states, Washington, D.C., and five foreign
countries (Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany,
Mexico).

COACHING STAFF

HEAD COACH 4TH YEAR
A championship coach at the collegiate and professional
levels, Nebraska Head Coach Bill Callahan carries the
responsibility of guiding one of college football's most storied
programs.

Callahan's focus remains the same as the day he was
hired in January of 2004, less than a year after guiding
Oakland to the Super Bowl. He is striving to add to Nebraska's
championship legacy on the Big 12 and national levels. At
the same time, Callahan operates a program that places
equal value on helping his student-athletes achieve in the
classroom and developing skills needed for life after football.

During his first three years on the Husker sideline,
Callahan's leadership has led to success in all areas for
Nebraska, As the 2007 season begins with the disciplined
and focused Callahan at the helm, itis easy to envision even
greater accomplishments for the Huskers.

After finishing 2005 with three straight victories, Callahan's
Huskers continued the momentum throughout the 2006
campaign. Nebraska swept the Big 12 North Division and
earned a spot in the conference championship game for
the first time since 1999 before receiving a bid to the Cotton
Bowl. The Huskers also earned three Big 12 road victories
and extended their streak of wins in November to five straight
while posting the most points and total yards in a season
since 2001.

The Huskers made great strides on offense in their third
year under Callahan. Nebraska was one of three schools
nationally to rank in the top 25 in rushing offense, passing
offense, total offense and scoring offense. In the off-season,
Callahan made an improved running attack a priority, and the
Huskers responded by averaging better than 170 yards per
game on the ground. Nebraska's passing attack continued
to click with efficiency. Senior quarterback Zac Taylor
established school records with 3,197 yards passing and
26 touchdowns through the air. In the process, Taylor was
recognized as the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year. On
the defensive side of the ball, Nebraska ranked in the top 25
nationally in scoring defense and senior defensive end Adam
Carriker was named Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year.

This past off-season, Callahan and his championship staff
again produced a strong recruiting haul. The 2007 recruiting
class was ranked among the top dozen in the nation by
several recruiting services, and addressed key areas of
need for the Huskers. While maintaining a commitment to
keeping homegrown talent in Nebraska, Callahan and his
staff also showed their ability to lure players from throughout
the United States to Lincoln, Nebraska inked seven players
from the state of Texas, the Huskers’ largest recruiting haul
from that state in two decades. NU signed five players from
Arizona, the most ever in one year at Nebraska, and added

CONSECUTIVE SELLOUTS

ILLINOIS BENEDICTINE (1978)

four Californians, continuing Nebraska's recent recruiting
success in the Golden State.

The off-season momentum continued through the end
of spring camp, as the recent tradition of large spring
game crowds continued in 2007. More than 54,000 fans
converged on Memorial Stadium in April, giving Nebraska
a total of 236,000 fans who have attended the Red-White
game in the past four seasons.

The continued development of the Nebraska program
was also evident in the NFL Draft. Carriker was the 13th
overall selection, Nebraska's highest pick since 1998,
while three other Huskers were taken in the first 104 picks
of the draft. Included in that group was |-back Brandon
Jackson, who was tabbed 63rd overall by Green Bay, the
highest drafed Husker offensive player since 2002.

Nebraska fans began to see the fruits of Callahan's
detailed plan for success for the Husker program in 2005.
Nebraska closed the regular season with victories over
North Division rivals Kansas State and Colorado before
knocking off a talented Michigan squad in the MasterCard
Alamo Bowl. True to the hard-nosed attitude of their head
coach, the Huskers rallied from a 10-point fourth-quarter
deficit to post a 32-28 victory over the Wolverines.

Nebraska's 8-4 mark in 2005 came behind a determined
defensive effort and increased familiarity with the West
Coast Offense. The Husker special teams also gained
national recognition with their marked improvement.

The Blackshirt defense recorded a nation-leading 50
sacks, the second-highest single-season total in school
history. On offense, the Huskers posted a then-single-
season record 2,692 passing yards, with three receivers
topping 40 catches, underscoring the diversity of Callahan's
offensive attack.

As a member of an elite fraternity of coaches who
have led their team to a Super Bowl, Callahan's on-
field coaching credentials are evident. However, since
becoming the Huskers’ head man, Callahan has shown all
the needed qualities to develop a successful program at
the collegiate level.

Under Callahan, the Huskers are continuing to build
on their tradition of success in the classroom. Callahan's
first three senior classes have been successful in reaching
the No. 1 objective of college student-athletes. At the
conclusion of the 2007 spring semester, 53 of the 64
members of Callahan's first three senior classes had their
undergraduate degrees. Four fifth-year Huskers played as
graduate students in 2006, including 2007 senior tight end
J.B. Phillips, who hopes to earn his master’s degree by the
spring of 2008. A remarkable number of 23 Husker seniors
are on track to graduate by the end of the fall semester.

Callahan's Huskers have continued the Huskers’ long-standing tradition of
academic All-America honors. In 2006, fullback Dane Todd was a second-team

nation-leading total of football academic All-Americans to 90. A year earlier, both
Todd and center Kurt Mann were first-team academic All-America picks as juniors.

Nebraska again led the Big 12 in academic all-conference selections in 2006,
with 15 Huskers tabbed as first-team picks and another seven players chosen to the
second team. In May, Nebraska was one of 34 schools recognized by the American
Football Coaches Association for exemplary graduation rates.

Callahan is well-respected by his peers in the coaching profession, who value his
voice on numerous issues affecting the game.

COMMUNITY CHAMPIONS

Under Callahan, the football program has stepped up its commitment to making
a strong mark in the community. Husker players spend countless hours in local
communities speaking with youth and visiting Nebraska fans of all ages. Under
Callahan the entire Husker team has taken a half-day to visit with patients at
hospitals in both Lincoln and Omaha on an annual basis. Callahan's strong belief in
community outreach and character education led to his team receiving Nebraska's
annual Life Skills Team Award in 2005. The football team has subsequently been a
finalist for the coveted award in each of the past two seasons.

The commitment to being an active member of the community comes directly
from Callahan's leadership. Shortly after being named Nebraska's head coach,
Callahan established Coach Callahan Charities, Inc. The mission is to provide
financial support to non-profits organized to fight breast cancer and diabetes, and
provide services, support and hope to economically disadvantaged and at-risk youth
and families. Past beneficiaries have included UNMC Eppley Cancer Center, Breast
Cancer Foundation, Juvenile Diabetes Research Association, UNL Libraries, Special
Olympics, Red Cross, Fresh Start, Make-a-Wish, and City Impact's Backpack
Buddies and Child Sponsorship programs.

Callahan and his staff presented the fourth annual Football 101 for Women in
early June. The event has been a rousing success each year, drawing nearly 4,500
participants and raising approximately $190,000 for breast cancer research.

and in its first three years, the event has drawn more than 1,700 combined
participants and raised $30,000 for Juvenile Diabetes and the University Libraries.
Coach Callahan Charities has also hosted the Coach Callahan Golf Classic the past
two years, with proceeds benefitting the general fund for Coach Callahan Charities.
All told, Coach Callahan Charities has raised more than $355,000 to charity in just
over three years.

Callahan has also given his time as a guest speaker and spokesperson for several
local organizations. He is the Honorary Chair of the Make-A-Wish Foundation's
“Share our Magic Campaign", and has been the keynote speaker at the Omaha
American Heart Association Breakfast, the Nebraska Special Olympics Breakfast of
Champions and at the Big Brothers and Big Sisters of the Midlands.

The Husker football program under Callahan has placed a strong emphasis on
developing the football talents of youth in the state of Nebraska. During the spring,
the coaching staff and players conducted the Husker Youth Experience for the third
straight year. The event is a free developmental clinic for 500 children from the state.

This summer the Husker coaching staff provided instruction to nearly 2,000 campers
who attended the various sessions of the Big Red Football School. The camps again
included the Husker Youth Camp for children ages 8 to 13. In its third year the camp
drew more than 450 youth, an indication of the respect and trust Callahan and his
coaching staff have earned with parents in the state of Nebraska. Callahan and his
staff also presented the first Big Red Run-N-Gun camp, a 7-on-7 team passing camp
designed to help the development of prep teams throughout the area.

The commitment to the youth and prep programs in the state is also evident in
the Huskers’ annual Spring Coaches Clinic. Callahan and his staff have opened up
a weekend of spring practices to hundreds of coaches each of the past four years.
Callahan has also used his vast coaching connections to enhance the coaches
clinic. This year, 2006 NFL Coach of the Year Sean Payton of the New Orleans
Saints was the keynote speaker. With his appearance this spring, Payton joined
Tampa Bay Head Coach Jon Gruden and former NFL head coach Dick Vermeil
as the lead speakers at the clinic the past three years. In addition, former Husker
assistant Gene Huey, now of the Indianapolis Colts, returned to campus fresh off the
Colts’ Super Bow! win to take part in the 2007 Spring Coaches Clinic.

COACHING STAFF

During the 2006 season, Coach Bill Callahan led Nebraska to the Big 12 North Division title, the conference championship game and a New Year's Day bow! game.

Callahan has also embraced the rich traditions of the Cornhusker program. At
the top of that list is an on-going commitment to Nebraska's unparalleled walk-on
program. Since his hiring, Callahan has rewarded 17 players who came to Nebraska
as walk-ons with scholarships, including 13 native Nebraskans. Last season, fifth-
year senior and Lincoln native Brandon Rigoni, a special teams stalwart, earned
a scholarship at the start of fall camp and shortly thereafter was chosen as one of
three Husker team captains. Callahan hopes to continue to identify and develop the
best in-state prospects and he has made that a priority by assigning a member of
his coaching staff to every high school in the state.

The plan for a total football program that Callahan has implemented at Nebraska
is the product of three decades of coaching experience and expertise. Having
coached on every level during his career, Callahan is one of five coaches to take a
collegiate head coaching job after previously guiding a team to the Super Bowl.

Callahan brought a wealth of experience to Nebraska from the National Football
League and collegiate ranks. A natural leader, Callahan has also worked with young
men at the beginning of their formative years, serving as a high school coach and
teacher for two years.

A Chicago native, Callahan's arrival at Nebraska not only served as a return
home to the Midwest, but also to his first love — college football. Callahan is in his
30th year of coaching, and his 19th at the college level, while also accumulating nine
years experience in the National Football League and two seasons in high school
coaching. Highly respected throughout the coaching ranks, Callahan used his ties
to quickly assemble a championship coaching staff in Lincoln. The staff includes
coaches who have won championships in seven major conferences.

The diverse background and strong ties to different areas of the country allowed
Nebraska to attract a top-25 national recruiting class in 2004, despite Callahan being
hired less than a month before National Signing Day. In their first full year together
the staff showed its recruiting prowess, pulling together a group of players that was
ranked No. 1 nationally by recruiting expert Tom Lemming. Each of Nebraska's past
two classes have been ranked among the top 15 nationally.

HEAD COACHING CAREER

Callahan came to Nebraska after two years as the head coach of the Oakland
Raiders in 2002 and 2003. He led the Raiders to the AFC West title and Super Bowl
XXXVII in 2002 to become the fourth rookie head coach to reach the Super Bowl.
He led Oakland to an 11-5 regular-season record in his first year and went 4-12 in
2003, when the Raiders were hit hard by injuries.

With their Super Bow! appearance in 2002, the Raiders set an NFL record by
appearing in Super Bowls in four different decades. In the process, Callahan became
the third first-year Raiders head coach to lead the team to an AFC West title and into
the conference championship game, joining Art Shell (1990) and John Madden (1969).

Callahan's rookie season as head coach confirmed his leadership qualities and
coaching ability and highlighted the diversity of the West Coast offensive system
Callahan teaches. For the first time in franchise history, the Raiders led the NFL in
passing in 2002 (279.7 ypg), and also led the league in total offense (398.8 ypg) for
just the second time. Callahan was recognized for his role in the success, as he
was named the NFL Coach of the Year by the Touchdown Club of Columbus and
the NFL Rookie Coach of the Year by Football Digest.

A CONVERSATION WITH COACH CALLAHAN

Head Coach Bill Callahan shares his thoughts ona variety of topics regarding the Husker
program, the upcoming season, and coaching philosophies of the Nebraska staff.

Q- What can Husker fans look forward to in 2007?

“We have some great challenges in front of us this fall. The schedule we face will be
competitive each and every week, Our football team has put in some outstanding work
in the off-season, first during winter conditioning, followed by spring football and summer
conditioning. | think Nebraska fans will like the way our team plays. These are hard-
working, solid kids who are focused on winning a championship.”

Q- You made great progress last season-winning the Big 12 North, playing on New
Year's Day, battling top-10 teams, Is this program ready for the next step in 2007?

“| think our players are hungry. They got a taste of success last year, but they were left
wanting more and hopefully they have used that as motivation. The goals remain the same.
Win the Big 12 North, play in the Big 12 Championship Game and go from there."

Q- What are the keys to a successful 2007 campaign?

"We haye built our off-season around establishing an identity of being a football team
that is tough, dependable and smart. If we can operate as a football team with those
characteristics as a foundation we have the opportunity to position ourselves to achieve
our team goals,”

Q - Offensively, you achieved great balance and made drastic statistical
improvements last season. How do you continue to make strides on offense?

“We are proud of the improvements we made on offense last season. We improved from
54th to 23rd in rushing, 96th to 14th in total offense and 67th to 17th in scoring, We led the
nation In total offensive attempts and were fifth in time of possession. We were effective
in the Red Zone. The next siep is being more consistent from the first quarter to the fourth
quarter. Ball security can always be better and we can certainly create more big plays.”

Q- How important is efficient quarterback play in your offense? Are you confident
in the quarterbacks you have in the system?

“Everything we do on offense is centered on the quarterback. Our objective is to give the
quarterback confidence in his own decision-making ability and to give him the confidence
he needs to function at a high level, Efficient quarterback play is tied to making fast, quick
decisions and the discipline of progression reads. Another attribute of an efficient quarterback
isa player that plays through and overcomes adversity, | want to believe that our quarterbacks
have the leadership ability to inspire their teammates to reach a higher level.”

Q - Defensively, you Jost some talented players to the National Football League.
What should we expect from the Blackshirts in 20077

“We are proud of the success we had in the NFL Draft, Not only on defense with Adam
Carriker being selected in the first round, along with Stew Bradley and Jay Moore, but
also Brandon Jackson at running back. Having four players drafted that high in the Draft
is a greal situation and one we hope for each and every year. Getting back to defense,
we will be young up front, but there are some talented football players up there. We think
we can build around an experienced, battle-tested group of linebackers and we will be
deeper al every position in the back end.”

Q - Nebraska has a reputation of being a hard-working, physically dominating
team. How does this fit with your coaching style?

“My slaff and | totally embrace the traditions of Nebraska football, This team will reflect
the nature of Nebraskans. We will strive ta be as hard-working and humble as the many
successful teams that have preceded us. This is a style that | have believed in throughout
my coaching career and continue here at Nebraska. We will always work hard to be a
physical football team."

Q - How important is maintaining the walk-on tradition at Nebraska?

“It isa vital part of reaching our championship aspirations. Since | took over this program,
we have awarded 17 scholarships to walk-on players. most of those native Nebraskans. We will
continue to do that. We understand the tradition and great legacy with the walk-on program here
and plan to continue to build on that. We want to make sure that when a player comes to the
University of Nebraska, he is going fo have every opportunity to succeed to maximize his talents
and abilities. | want them to understand that not every player can start, but we are committed to
making each player become the best they can possibly be. | have admiration for walk-ons. At
Nebraska, we (reat our players in a first-class manner and walk-ons are no exception."

BRANDON RIGONI (Lert).

Q- Your team moved into a new facility last summer, How has the Osborne Complex
impacted your program, not only in recruiting, but also in day-to-day operations?

“Steve Pederson had great vision when he put this facility together, It is a modern,
state-of-the-art facility in every facet. We saw an impact in recruiting even before we
moved into the facility, and now that we are in the building it has given us a greater edge.
From an operations standpoint, it has improved our efficiency in every area. The cutting
edge video technology, the meeting rooms for staff and players, have enhanced our
daily preparation. Our student-athletes have a one-stop shop, with access to everything
they need-the training table, locker room, weight room, Hewit Center, athletic medicine,
equipment, coaches’ offices, you name it.”

Q- What role do you feel the head coach plays in the personal development of a young
man during his college years?

“As coaches, we definitely have an impact on a player's career and his life. College
years are a Very formative time in a young man’s life, | look forward to helping each one of
our players maximize their academic and athletic talent as well as character. Our goal is to
nave the players leave the program as better people and more prepared lo live life."

Q- You and your staff have a reputation as strong recruiters. What makes a coach
a great recruiter?

“Number one, we have a staff that has excellent communication skills. Secondly, they
care and have a genuine concer for the players they bring to the University of Nebraska.
Additionally, each individual coach must have the eagerness and the energy to seek out
and recruit great players. We have always followed the philosophy that players don't
really care how much you know until you show them how much you care, and this staff
cares deeply about its players.”

Q - What do you look for in a recruit?

“We have a specific profile that a player must meet. This profile is based on a
championship formula. We evaluate each recruit on character, academics and athletic
skills. We are looking for players who are committed to excellence in all aspects of their
lives, who want to be a part of a team concept and genuinely care about the team,
Additionally, we want players who want lo compete, and at Nebraska, we attract players
that love competition at the highest level.”

Q - Nebraska has a strong history of academic excellence, and that success has
continued under your leadership. What is the key to that success?

“Our number one goal as a coaching staff is to have a 100 percent graduation rate for
each of our senior classes. One of the reasons | came here was because of Nebraska's
strong support systems for the student-athlete. One of Nebraska's most impressive
support units is its academic support system. The program that Dennis Leblanc and
his staff have put together has historically made this athletic program one of the most
successful in terms of graduation rates and academic honors. We have a strong obligation
to this University to make sure that academics come first and that each of our student-
athletes graduate. We have high expectations of our players both in the classroom and
on the field and expect that success in both areas of student-athlete life.”

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR/LB

Kevin Cosgrove returns for his fourth
season as the Husker linebackers coach
while serving his 13th year as a defensive
coordinator at the Division | level.

Cosgrove will oversee one of the
deepest linebacking corps in the nation
for the second consecutive season in
2007. Bo Ruud returns after a stellar junior
campaign that saw him earn first-team All-
Big 12 accolades while Corey McKeon,
a second-team all-league pick in 2005,
is back for another season manning the
middle of the defense. Also returning are
seniors Steve Octavien, one of the team’s
best athletes, and Lance Brandenburgh, a
versatile veteran. Cosgrove has had a first-
or second-team All-Big 12 player each of
his first three years at Nebraska.

The Blackshirt defense boasted an impressive rise in the
national rankings each of the past two years under Cosgrove.
The Huskers have been in the top 25 nationally in scoring
defense (24th in 2006, 25th in 2005) and pass efficiency
defense (13th in 2006, 10th in 2005) each of the last two years,
while posting top-40 national rankings each season in rushing
defense. NU also ranked 11th nationally in rush defense in
Cosgrove's first season in 2004,

Under Cosgrove's tutelage, Nebraska led the nation in
sacks (50 total, 4.17 per game) and tackles for loss (10.33 per
game) in 2005. The 50 sacks were the second-most ever by
a Blackshirt defense, including a Big 12 Conference-leading
9.5 sacks by defensive end Adam Carriker while Barry Turner
added an NU freshman-record six sacks before being named
a freshman All-American.

Cosgrove has helped several other Blackshirts reach the
pinnacle of the sport. Daniel Bullocks joined his twin brother,
Josh, when he was selected in the second round of the 2006
NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions. Josh Bullocks (2nd round,
New Orleans) was one of three Blackshirts drafted following
the 2004 season, along with cornerback Fabian Washington
(1st, Oakland) and linebacker Barrett Ruud (2nd, Tampa Bay),
who finished his career under Cosgrove as the all-time leading
tackler in Nebraska history.

Carriker was again dominantin 2006 when he was named the
Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year before being selected by
the St. Louis Rams in the first round (12th pick) of the 2007 NFL
Draft, the Huskers’ highest selection since Grant Wistrom went
sixth in the 1998 Draft. Carriker was one of three Blackshirts
selected this year along with linebacker Stewart Bradley (third
round by the Philadelphia Eagles) and defensive end Jay Moore
(fourth round by San Francisco).

Before joining the Huskers, Cosgrove served under Barry
Alvarez as defensive coordinator at Wisconsin for nine years.
Cosgrove coached the Badger linebackers for 14 years overall
(1990-2003) and spent 22 years coaching in the Big Ten.

A member of Alvarez’s original staff, Cosgrove coached at
Wisconsin with several current Husker staff members, including
Coach Bill Callahan, cornerbacks coach Phil Elmassian (1997-
99) and safeties coach Bill Busch (1994). Callahan and Cosgrove
have coached together for 14 years.

Cosgrove helped Wisconsin to three Big Ten titles and
nine bowl appearances (7-2 record), including three Rose
Bowl wins. Two of Cosgrove's linebackers — Pete Monty in
1996, Nick Greisen in 2000 and 2001 —led the conference
in tackles at Wisconsin, with Monty setting the Badgers’
career tackle record. Barrett Ruud led the Big 12 in tackles in
2004 under Cosgrove and ended his career as the Huskers’
all-time tackles leader.

Wisconsin won the Big Ten title in 1993 and defeated
UCLA in the Rose Bowl 21-16. The Badgers then won
back-to-back Big Ten titles in 1998 and 1999, before
defeating UCLA, 38-31, and Stanford, 17-9, in the Rose
Bowl, respectively.

Cosgrove has recruited many outstanding athletes
during his career, and was named to recruiting analyst Tom
Lemming's “other big-time recruiting names,” just outside
of the top-10 list. Among the top recruits he brought to UW
were offensive tackle Aaron Gibson, a finalist for both the
1998 Lombardi Award and Outland Trophy; defensive back
Jamar Fletcher, who won the 2000 Jim Thorpe Award;
and defensive tackle Wendell Bryant, a two-time Big Ten
Defensive Lineman of the Year. Gibson, Fletcherand Bryant
were all first-round NFL draft picks.

Cosgrove also has worked at Illinois, Southeast Missouri
State and Colorado State. He was a graduate assistant at
Illinois alongside Callahan from 1980 to 1982, then was
elevated to linebackers coach for the Illini from 1983 to
1987. Cosgrove recruited Jeff George, the NFL's No. 1 draft
pick in 1990, to Illinois along with two-time All-American
Moe Gardner.

Cosgrove graduated from Mt. Carmel High School in
Chicago and first met Callahan during their prep careers.
He was a teammate of Callahan's at lilinois Benedictine
College in 1974, playing defensive back, but earned his
bachelor's degree in physical education from Wisconsin-
Oshkosh in 1980.

Cosgrove and his wife, Shelly, have two sons, Clint and
Connor, and a daughter, Shannon. Clint worked as a video
intern in the Nebraska football office last year and will be a
graduate assistant coach at Minnesota in 2007.

OFFENSIVE COORDINA TOR/QB

After tutoring the Husker tight ends
last season, Shawn Watson takes
over the offensive coordinator duties
in 2007 and will work with Nebraska's
quarterbacks. Watson also served as
recruiting coordinator during his first
season in Lincoln but relinquished
those duties when he moved into the
offensive coordinator role vacated in
January by Jay Norvell, who joined the
staff at UCLA.

Watson's promotion to offensive
coordinator came aslittle surprise, as he
had served as a Division | coordinator
for six years prior to coming to Lincoln.
Watson has 24 years of collegiate
coaching experience, including a stint
as the head coach at Southern Illinois
from 1994 to 1996.

Inhis first yearas quarterbacks coach
at Nebraska, Watson will oversee the
development of a new signal caller for
the Huskers. Two-year starter and 2006
Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year Zac
Taylor completed his eligibility following the Cotton Bowl.
Taylor rewrote the NU record book and finished his career
as the all-time leading passer (yards, completions and
touchdowns) in school history. This season, Watson will work
with a quarterbacking group that includes returning backup
Joe Ganz, reserve Beau Davis and Sam Keller, who threw
for more than 3,000 yards in three years at Arizona State
before transferring to Lincoln last fall.

In 2006, Watson worked with a talented group of tight ends
in his debut with the Huskers. Among his proteges during
his first year at Nebraska were Matt Herian, who finished his
career with a Nebraska tight end record for receptions (65)
and reception yardage (1,243) and was fourth overall on the
NU receptions chart (any position), Nebraska returns three
tight ends who played in the regular rotation last year. Along
with Herian, the foursome finished with 35 catches for 336
yards and 10 touchdowns.

Watson came to Nebraska after seven seasons on the
Colorado coaching staff, including the last six as the Buffs’
offensive coordinator.

Watson and Nebraska head coach Bill Callahan have
known each other since early in their coaching careers, when
they both served on Mike White's staff at the University of
Illinois, including sharing an office for two years. Callahan was
an assistant with the Illini from 1980 to 1986, while Watson
was on staff from 1983 to 1986. Watson first served as a
graduate assistant coach in 1983 and 1984 at Illinois, then
worked with the offensive tackles and tight ends in 1985,
before serving as wide receivers coach in 1986.

After his stay at Illinois, Watson went to Miami University
in Oxford, Ohio, where he was an assistant coach for seven
seasons. At Miami, Watson tutored the tight ends for three
years, wide receivers fortwo years and served as quarterbacks
coach and recruiting coordinator in his final two seasons.

The impressive work Watson turned in at Miami led to him

being named the head coach at his alma mater, Southern
lllinois. He served in that role for three seasons from 1994
to 1996. During his three years at the helm, SIU compiled
an 11-22 record, and produced 20 all-conference players.
Two of his standout players included Mark Gagliano, who
led the nation in punting in 1996, and tight end Damon
Jones, who was drafted in the fifth round by Jacksonville in
the 1997 NFL Draft.

Watson left Southern Illinois to take a position as the
quarterbacks coach on Gary Barnett's Northwestern staff.
After two seasons in Evanston, Watson followed Barnett
to Colorado, beginning with the 1999 season. Watson was
promoted to offensive coordinator before the 2000 campaign
and held that position for six years.

Uncer Watson, Colorado's version of the West Coast
Offense showed its flexibility and the ability to adapt to the
Buffs’ offensive talent. Colorado ranked 20th nationally in
total offense in 2001, only the third team in CU history to
average both 200 yards rushing and passing. After relying
ona ground-oriented attack in 2001 and 2002, the 2003 Buffs
featured a prolific passing attack, ranking 18th nationally at
279.3 yards per game. Colorado's 2004 team produced a
1,000-yard rusher anda 2,000-yard passer forjust the second
time in school history.

In 2005, Colorado quarterback Joel Klatt re-wrote the CU
record book under Watson's guidance. Klatt finished his Buff
careeras the holder of 44 school records, including mostcareer
pass completions, attempts and passing yards.

Watson began his collegiate playing career at Illinois in
1978, but transferred to Southern Illinois at Carbondale in
1979 and played two seasons with the Salukis as a safety.
He earned a bachelor's degree from SIUC in 1982.

Watson and his wife, Anita, have a daughter, Amber, and
two sons, Aaron and Adam, a redshirt freshman walk-on
defensive back for the Huskers.

CIAL TEAMS/SAFETIES * 4TH YEAR *

Bill Busch, a Nebraska native and a former Husker graduate
assistant coach, enters his fourth season in Lincoln where he
will coach the Husker safeties and serve as Nebraska's special
teams coordinator in 2007.

Busch’s safeties have been among the team’s top athletes
over the past three seasons. Among his defensive corps
last year, Husker safeties recorded six of Nebraska’s 12
interceptions in 2006. Strong safety Tierre Green, who returns
for his third season as a starter in the defensive backfield,
added one pickoff and assisted the Blackshirts by ranking fifth
intackles, Rickey Thenarse, a freshman, added an interception
and made significant contributions on special teams. Together
they helped the Blackshirts rank 13th nationally in pass
efficiency defense.

The lofty ranking was nothing new as Busch helped guide
the 2005 Husker defense to an impressive No. 10 national
pass efficiency defense ranking and the No, 2 ranking in the
Big 12 Conference. The Huskers held six opponents to less
than 200 yards passing and nine to one or fewer passing
touchdowns in 2005.

Following the 2005 campaign, Daniel Bullocks joined his twin
brother, Josh, as Daniel was selected by the Detroit Lions in
the second round of the 2006 NFL Draft. A year earlier, Josh,
who started two years at NU, was a second-round selection
of the New Orleans Saints. Ironically, each Bullocks brother
was taken with the 40th pick.

Busch's expertise has also paid dividends for the Huskers on
special teams. Over the past three seasons, the Huskers have
blocked 15 kicks, including seven in 2005. NU's special teams
recorded two important plays in the final minutes of a contest
—a 40-yard field goal to beat Kansas State and a block ofa Pitt
field-goal attempt — that proved to be game winners.

Nebraska ranked in the top 25 nationally in net punting (24th
in 2006) and punt returns (17th in 2005) under Busch during the
past three years as well. NU's kickoff coverage unit ranked 15th
nationally in 2006 after finishing 22nd the previous year.

Busch spent his first season in Lincoln working with the
outside linebackers, who accounted for three of the Huskers’
top six tackle totals during the 2004 season.

Off the field, Busch is responsible for preparing the officials
evaluation reports, serves as the team's liaison to the Big 12
Conference officials and is the staff resident expert on rules
of the game.

Busch came to NU after spending three seasons at the
University of Utah where he coached the safeties in 2001 and
2002 and the defensive backs in 2003.

Utah boasted one of the top defenses in the Mountain
West Conference in 2003 to help the Utes to an impressive
10-2 record and their first outright conference title since 1957.
Utah's 10 victories that season tied the then-school record and
its No. 21 final national ranking in both polls was the school's
highest since 1994, Busch's secondary allowed Utah to finish
second in the Mountain West and 27th nationally in pass
efficiency defense, as Utah surrendered just nine passing
touchdowns in 12 games.

efficiency defense while earning an 8-4 overall record
that concluded with a victory over USC in the Las Vegas
Bowl.

Before his three seasons at Utah, Busch spent four years
atNew Mexico State where he coached the defensive backs.
His first full-time coaching job was at Northern Arizona where
he was the secondary coach in 1995 and 1996. Busch also
served as the co-defensive coordinator in 1996,

The Pender, Neb., native had previous ties to NU
head coach Bill Callahan and defensive coordinator Kevin
Cosgrove from their days together at Wisconsin, Busch spent
the 1994 season as a graduate assistant at UW and helped
the Badgers to a Hall of Fame Bowl appearance.

Busch wasa graduate assistant at NU from 1990 to 1993,
assisting George Darlingtonwith the defensive backs. Among
the defensive backs Busch worked with at Nebraska were
all-league performers Tyrone Byrd, Barron Miles, Tyrone
Williams and Mike Minter.

Busch began his coaching career as a graduate assistant
at Nebraska-Kearney in 1989, after playing wide receiver at
Nebraska Wesleyan from 1985 to 1987. Busch earned his
bachelor’s degree in education from Nebraska Wesleyan
in 1988 and added a master's degree from Nebraska-

Elmassian is in
his fourth season
with the Nebraska
program and will
again focus on guiding the Husker cornerbacks in 2007.

Last year, Elmassian faced a challenge as returning starter
Zack Bowman was lost for the season to injury during fall
camp. Bowman's replacement, Andre Jones, ranked second
on the team in tackles with 74 and was second with seven
pass breakups. Jones trailed only his counterpart, Cortney
Grixby, who recorded 11 breakups for the second year in a

Bowman suffered another injury during 2007 spring
practice, but hopes to make his return in the fall as well. He
has been ranked among the top cornerbacks in the country
by several publications that track the NFL Draft.

Elmassian came to Nebraska from Purdue where he was
the defensive backs coach in 2003. Purdue ranked second
in the Big Ten and 19th nationally in pass efficiency defense
in his only season on the sideline and ranked 13th nationally
in total defense (302.5 ypg). Under Elmassian's careful
guidance, senior safety Stuart Schwiegert earned All-Big

RECRUITING COORDINATOR/WIDE RECEIVERS

Ted Gilmore will work with a talented
corps of athletes as he returns for his third
season as the Huskers' receivers coach,
Gilmore also added the title of recruiting
coordinator during the offseason.

Gilmore's stable of capable pass
catchers includes Terrence Nunn, one
of NU's top playmakers the past three
seasons. Just the second player in
Nebraska history —joining Heisman Trophy
winner Johnny Rodgers - to post 100
career receptions, Nunn also improved
his streak with at least one reception to
26 games in 2006.

Nunnjoined Rodgers as only the second
Husker ever with two 40-reception seasons
in a career when Nunn led Nebraska with
42 catches for 597 yards and three scores
as a junior. Nunn topped the 1,000-yard
career mark earlier in the season and
enters 2007 ranked second in school
history for receptions (101) and third in
receiving yards (1,310),

Along with Nunn, Nate Swift was an
integral part of the NU offense in 2005. Swift set Nebraska
freshman records for receptions (45) and receiving yardage
(641) while earning honorable-mention All-Big 12 accolades
and first-team freshman All-Big 12 honors. His 45 catches
rank among the top five all-time single-season marks in NU
history. Swift added to his resume as a sophomore in 2006,
as he became only the 14th player in school history to top the
1,000-yard receiving mark in a career.

Second-team All-Big 12 selection Maurice Purify was one
of the league's top newcomers last year under Gilmore's
direction. Purify caught 34 passes for a team-high 630 yards
and seven touchdowns and was one of four Huskers to make
at least 30 receptions last season. Purify also tied for fifth in
the NU single-season record book as he had seven touchdown
catches last year.

Nebraska receivers helped the Huskers post the first 3,000-
yard passing season in school history in 2006, the second
straight year NU’s West Coast Offense set a school record for
passing yards. Gilmore's coaching ability was recognized with
his selection to participate in the Expert Coaches Academy
in June 2007.

Gilmore came to Nebraska after spending two seasons on
the coaching staff at the University of Colorado, where he also
served as receivers coach. Gilmore guided D.J. Hackett and
Derek McCoy, who combined for 141 receptions, 1,896 yards
and 18 touchdowns in 2003. Hackett set the school record
with 78 receptions as a senior and was a first-team All-Big
12 selection before being taken in the 2004 NFL Draft by the
Seattle Seahawks. In 2004, Gilmore helped five Colorado
wideouts catch 20 or more passes in its version of the West
Coast Offense.

Before his stint in Boulder, Gilmore spent two years as the
wide receivers coach for Coach Joe Tiller at Purdue. Gilmore
coached the top receiving tandem in the Big Ten in 2002,
when Taylor Stubblefield and John Standeford combined for

Stubblefield became the NCAA career leader with 316
receptions after catching atleast one passin all 47 collegiate
games. He was a Biletnikoff Award finalist and consensus
All-American in 2004 after scoring a school-record 14
touchdowns. Standeford finished his career as the all-time
Big Ten leader with 266 receptions and 3,788 yards and
was a semifinalist for the 2003 Biletnikoff Award, while also
earning two first-team academic All-America certificates,

RUNNING BACKS * 4TH YEAR °
Following anine-yearcareerinthe NFL,
Randy Jordan moved to the sidelines and
is now entering his fourth season as the
Huskers’ running backs coach. Jordan
began his coaching career as a special
teams assistant with the Oakland Raiders,
before following Coach Bill Callahan to
Nebraska.

With the Huskers, Jordan oversaw a
Nebraska committee of |-backs in 2006
that produced nearly 2,400 rushing yards
and 26 rushing touchdowns in the powerful
West Coast Offense. An improved effort
on the ground helped NU move from
107th in 2005 to 23rd nationally in rushing
offense in 2006.

Brandon Jackson led the way with 989
tushing yards with seven touchdowns
before leaving for the NFL Draft following
his junior season. Jackson was a second-
round pick by the Green Bay Packers, one
of three Huskers selected on the first day
of the draft. He was the highest drafted
|-back from Nebraska since 1996 and was
the highest drafted offensive player at NU since 2002.

Along with Jackson, three other Huskers benefited from
Jordan's tutelage, including Marlon Lucky (728 yards and
six touchdowns, 32 receptions), Cody Glenn (370 yards and
eight touchdowns) and Kenny Wilson (335 yards and four
touchdowns). Lucky and Glenn return for the 2007 campaign
looking to take the lead role in the offense, while Wilson rehabs
an injury that will sideline him for the season,

Jordan's creativity and enthusiasm has shaped the |-back
position into a multiple-threat weapon. The most recent
beneficiary of Jordan's knowledge, Jackson ranked third on
the squad with 33 receptions while earning first-team All-Big 12
honors from the Associated Press. Jordan's backs combined
for 73 receptions and four receiving touchdowns, helping NU
rank 14th nationally in total offense last year.

A year earlier, Glenn and Lucky provided a solid
combination of speed and power that was an impressive
complement to starting |-back Cory Ross in 2005.

A perfect example of the multi-dimensional player Jordan
and the Huskers like to utilize, Ross finished his career ranked
ninth on the Huskers’ all-time rushing chart with 2,743 yards.
He also ranked sixth on the NU career chart with 71 receptions,
including a position record with 43 catches in 2005. Ross
is the only Husker in history to rank in the top 10 for both
tushing yards and receptions, and finished fourth in school
history in all-purpose yards.

Jordan's guidance helped Ross join an elite group in 2004,
as Ross became the 20th Husker to record 1,000 rushing
yards in a season when he ranked fifth in the conference
and 23rd nationally with 100.2 rushing yards per game. As
a group, Nebraska's backs averaged 176.8 yards per contest
in the first season of the West Coast Offense.

Jordan began his coaching career in 2003 as he joined
the Raider staff in mid-season as a special teams assistant
under Oakland's special teams coach Bob Casullo.

Rudolph joined the Huskers after
spending the past three seasons at
Ohio State. In 2006, Rudolph was a
member of the Buckeyes’ strength and
conditioning staff, where he developed
position-specific training programs for
OSU's tight ends, offensive linemen
and fullbacks. Prior to working this past
season as part ofthe Buckeyes’ strength
and conditioning unit, Rudolph spent
two seasons on Coach Jim Tressel’s
staff as a graduate assistant with the
Buckeye offense.

The Buckeyes had great success
while Rudolph was part of the program.
In 2006, Ohio State compiled a
perfect 12-0 regular season before
losing to Florida in the BCS National
Championship Game. While serving as
a graduate assistant, Rudolph helped
guide the Buckeyes to a trip to the |= = ==
Alamo Bowl in 2004. He also assisted a 2.3
with the Ohio State offense in 2005, as
the Buckeyes finished ranked fourth

Rudolph spent the majority of his time at Ohio State working
with the offensive line. During his stint as a graduate assistant,
the Buckeyes averaged better than 420 yards of total offense
and nearly 33 points per game in 2005. OSU offensive guard
Rob Sims was a first-team All-Big Ten pickin 2005, while center

OFFENSIVE LINE » 4TH YEAR

Coach Dennis Wagner has continued
the storied tradition of the Husker offensive
line as Nebraska implemented the West
Coast Offense the past three seasons.
Along the way, Wagner has quickly gained
a reputation as one of the top offensive
line coaches in the country.

In 2006, Nebraska's line improvement
and depth led to a resurgence on offense
as the Huskers soared to 14th nationally
in total offense while ranking 23rd in both
passing offense and rushing offense.
Sophomore tackle Matt Slauson earned
second-team All-Big 12 honors for his
play while several other Huskers earned
valuable experience for the future.
Nebraska lost two offensive linemen
in the regular rotation from the 2006
campaign, but returns seven players in
2007 who started a game last season.
The impressive group of returnees has
led some preseason publications to rank
the Husker offensive line among the
nation's top units.

During his initial season in Lincoln in
2004, Wagner's proteges cleared the way
as the Husker offense averaged 176 yards
rushing and 187 yards passing per game
in its first season away from the option
ground attack. In 2005, the Nebraska
line made significant gains in setting up
the passing game. It helped first-year
quarterback Zac Taylor set Husker records, including single-
game (431) passing yards against lowa State, while Kurt
Mann was a second-team All-Big 12 selection.

Wagner came to Nebraska from Fresno State where he
served as assistant head coach and offensive line coach for
seven years. He quickly helped Fresno State's offensive line
become one of the top units in the country as his O-line was
ranked among the top 10 in 2002 by The Sporting News. His
offensive linemen helped NFL No. 1 pick David Carr post
record-shattering passing numbers in 2001 (4,299 yards,
42 touchdowns passing), while running back Paris Gaines
rushed for more than 1,000 yards and the team averaged
501.6 total yards per game.

In each of his last two years at FSU, one of his linemen
earned first-team freshman All-America honors, including
tackle Logan Mankins (an eventual NFL first-round selection)
in 2002 and center Kyle Young in 2003. Wagner helped Head
Coach Pat Hill lead the Bulldogs to bowl games in each of
Wagner's last five years.

A native of Waverly, lowa, Wagner has other Midwest
and Nebraska ties. He was the head coach at Wayne (Neb.)
State from 1989 to 1996, leading the Wildcats to a 44-37-1
record. He quickly turned around the Division || program
which had lost 12 consecutive games just prior to his arrival
and had only won two of its last 29 games. For his efforts,
Wagner was inducted into the Wayne State College Hall of
Fame in 2005.

A long-time assistant with coaching
and recruiting ties to the Big 12, Big Ten
and SEC, Buddy Wyatt was hired in
December 2006 by Coach Bill Callahan
to guide the Husker defensive line.

Wyatt jumped right into the fray as
he assisted the Huskers during their
preparations for the Cotton Bowl,
where NU'sstarting defensive front four
combined for 17 tackles, including three
for loss and two sacks. This year Wyatt
will oversee replacing four starters on
the line while working with a solid core
of young talent.

In June of 2007, Wyatt was
recognized when he was selected
to participate in the Expert Coaches
Academy, an NCAA program that
addresses the critical shortage of ethnic
minorities in head coaching positions in
the sport of college football, primarily
at the Division | level. He is the third
Husker assistant in the past two years
to be invited.

Wyatt came to the Huskers with 15 years of Division |
coaching experience, including spending his previous four
seasons as the defensive line coach at the University of
Alabama. During Wyatt's tenure in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson
Tide annually ranked among the nation’s top defenses.

Alabama ranked 18th nationally in total defense and 29th
in scoring defense during the 2006 campaign. A year earlier,
the defense paced the Crimson Tide to a 10-2 record and a
Cotton Bowl victory, ranking first nationally in scoring defense
(10.7 ppg), second in total defense (255.1 ypg) and ninth
against the run (94.3 ypg). Alabama also ranked second
nationally in total defense (245.5 ypg) and was seventh in
scoring defense in 2004.

Wyattis also recognized as one of the nation’s top recruiters.
Wyatt has been responsible for recruiting the Mississippi High
School Player of Year to the Crimson Tide program each of
his last two seasons—running back Terry Grant in 2006 and
Jimmy Johns in 2005, Wyatt helped attract top-20 ranked
recruiting classes to Tuscaloosa in each of his last three
campaigns, while focusing much of his recruiting efforts in
the state of Florida.

A native of Victoria, Texas, Wyatt also has an outstanding
track record of recruiting in the state of Texas, specifically during
his time at Texas A&M from 2000 to 2002. Among Wyatt's top
recruits with the Aggies was defensive lineman Johnny Jolly,
a rookie with the Green Bay Packers in 2006.

In addition to his most recent stop at Alabama, Wyatt has
five years of experience at Big 12 Conference schools, including
working as a defensive line coach at Oklahoma State, Colorado
and Texas A&M.

Wyatt took over the Alabama defensive line after three
seasons as part of R.C. Slocum's coaching staff at Texas
A&M from 2000 to 2002. While with the Aggies, Wyatt helped
coach future NFL players Rocky Bernard, Ty Warren, Ronald
Edwards and Ronald Flemons, and assisted on two A&M teams

that played in bowl games. Nebraska Associate Athletic
Director for Football Operations Tim Cassidy was on the
Texas A&M staff with Wyatt.

Wyatt was a member of Gary Barnett’s coaching staffs
for three seasons from 1997 to 1999. He coached the
Northwestern defensive line in 1997 and 1998, then moved
to the University of Colorado with Barnett in 1999, where he
helped the Buffs to an appearance in the Insight.com Bowl.
While Wyattwas a member of Barnett’s staffs he worked with
Husker offensive coordinator Shawn Watson, who served as
an offensive assistant under Barnett at both schools.

Wyatt's first stop in the Big 12 Conference came at
Oklahoma State in 1996, where he served as the defensive
line coach for Bob Simmons. While with the Cowboys, Wyatt
coached defensive tackle Jamal Williams, who is currently
one of the top defensive linemen in the NFL with the San
Diego Chargers.

The first full-time coaching stop for Wyatt came at the
University of Minnesota from 1992 to 1995. He served
under Head Coach Jim Wacker, who was Wyatt's college
coach at TCU.

Wyatt played forthe Horned Frogs as a defensive lineman
from 1986 to 1989. He graduated from TCU with a degree
in education in 1990. After two seasons in the professional
ranks, Wyatt returned to his alma mater where he served
as a graduate assistant during the 1991 campaign.

HEAD STRENGTH COACH

One of the nation's top strength and
conditioning coaches, Dave Kennedy is
entering his fourth season as an integral
member of the Nebraska football staff.
Kennedy serves as the Huskers' head
strength coach. He joined the staffafter
being lured away from the University
of Pittsburgh by Nebraska Coach Bill
Callahan, who had previously tried to
hire Kennedy when Callahan was the
head coach of the Oakland Raiders.

Kennedy'sservicesgreatlyexpanded
lastyearwith the addition of the new Tom
and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex at
Memorial Stadium. Kennedy oversaw
the massive transition of the strength
staff in its move to a new weight room
that houses the latest in technological
advances to aid the Huskers’ strength
training and conditioning program.

Kennedy and his staff can now better
serve the Huskers’ needs in the new
facility. The strength complex is part of a centrally located
student-athlete corridor that includes the football locker room
and the training and rehabilitation area, all within a few feet
of each other. The strength facility is more than one and a
half times the size of the previous strength center, which was
universally recognized for years as the best in the country.

Kennedy has helped Nebraska continue its tenure as
the preeminent strength and conditioning program in the
nation. Under a watchful eye in the weight room, two Huskers
earned first-team freshman All-America honors in 2005
while defensive end Adam Carriker was named the Big 12's
Defensive Lineman of the Year as a senior in 2006.

Carriker, who also served as his team’s quarterback in
high school, was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the first
round (13th pick) of the 2007 NFL Draft. Kennedy's efforts also
benefited |-back Brandon Jackson, who left school following
his junior season in 2006 and was a second-round selection
(No. 63) by the Green Bay Packers, the highest-drafted |-back
at Nebraska since 1996.

Kennedy gothis startin the strength and conditioning field at
Nebraska, where he earned his degree and trained under Boyd
Epley. Kennedy worked his way up the ladder at Nebraska,
serving as a student assistant from 1982 until he graduated
with a degree in strength coaching in 1985. He helped Epley
as an assistant strength coach from 1985 to 1988.

After working on the Nebraska staff, Kennedy was hired as
the head football strength coach at Ohio State in 1989. At Ohio
State, Kennedy helped bring the Buckeye program to national
prominence as he worked with standouts such as Eddie
George, Orlando Pace, Joey Galloway, Dan Wilkinson, David
Boston, Andy Katzenmoyer, Shawn Springs, Robert Smith
and Mike Vrabel. The players Kennedy worked with produced
21 All-America awards while also winning the Heisman and
Outland trophies as well as the Butkus, Biletnikoff, Thorpe
and Lombardi awards. Seventeen of his Buckeyes went on
to be first-round NFL Draft picks.

Kennedy received Ohio State's Admiral's Trophy prior to

the 1993 Holiday Bowl. The Admiral's Trophy, voted on by
the players, goes to the person whose dedication, hard work
and spirit most inspired the team.

During his 13 years at Ohio State, Kennedy established
himself as one of the premier strength coaches in the
country, drawing praise from ESPN GameDay analyst Kirk
Herbstreit.

“To me in this day and age of college football," Herbstreit
said, "the strength coach position has become a high
priority because the strength coach is with the players the
most of anyone on the staff. His job is to create a winning
attitude through the physical and mental development of the
players. Dave Kennedy sets the bar in the college football
community.”

The Omaha native left Ohio State before the start of the
2002 season and joined Head Coach Walt Harris’ staff at
Pittsburgh. At Pittsburgh, Kennedy helped wide receiver Larry
Fitzgerald develop into a Heisman Trophy runner-up and the
recipient of the 2003 Walter Camp and Biletnikoff awards.

Dave and his wife, Julie, have three sons, Ben, Nick and
Eric. Julie was a former Husker Hostess for the football

MEET THE HUSKERS

OVERVIEW

Nebraska returns 13 starters from last year's team,
including seven starters on offense, five on defense and its
starting punter. The strength of the Nebraska offense could
be up front where the Huskers return four linemen who made
at least six starts last season. In addition to that quartet of
experienced starters, Nebraska also returns a pair of prototype
tackles, who figure to bookend the line this fall.

Nebraska also returns its receiving corps intact and has
three players in that group who have made a significant impact
in the NU record book, Two experienced |-backs return to pace
the ground game, while Coach Bill Callahan must sort out the
quarterback race during fall camp.

Defensively, the Huskers must replace its entire starting
front four, but has a talented combination of returnees and
incoming players to handle those chores. The linebacking
corps is arguably one of the nation's best with four versatile
and experienced seniors roaming the field. Nebraska also has
four battle-tested seniors in a much deeper and seasoned
secondary for the 2007 campaign.

The Huskers featured a strong special teams unit last
season and hope to do so again this year. NU must find a
new place-kicker, while the starting punter returns.

POSITION-BY-POSITION BREAKDOWN
OFFENSE
The Losses

Quarterback Zac Taylor, !-back Brandon Jackson, fullback
Dane Todd and tightend Matt Herian all had productive careers
at skill positions and must be replaced. The Huskers also lost
three offensive linemen with extensive playing experience,
including Greg Austin, Kurt Mann and Chris Patrick,

Offensive Line

The Husker offensive line has the type of depth and
ability that could evoke memories of past great Nebraska
offensive fronts. O-line coach Dennis Wagner welcomes back
six players with extensive playing experience and a host of
talented youngsters who will push to see action this fall.

Any successful offensive line starts with a productive
center. The Huskers return senior Brett Byford (6-3, 300)
who started the final 13 games last season. Byford stepped in
following an illness to senior Kurt Mann and did not relinquish
the job. Byford is on the preseason Rimington Award Watch
List and figures to challenge for All-Big 12 honors.

Atrio of experienced Huskers figure to form the nucleus of
Nebraska's group of guards, Junior Matt Slauson is regarded
as a potential postseason award winner. The 6-5, 335-pound
Slauson was a regular at right tackle last season, but moved
inside to guard during spring ball and is expected to hold down
a starting quard spot this fall. Slauson earned second-team
All-Big 12 honors while starting 11 games last season.

Also returning to the mix at guard are a pair of junior
homegrown Huskers. Both Mike Huff and Andy Christensen
missed spring practice because of injury, but each player is
hopeful of being at full strength for the fall. Huff (6-4, 300)
started 13 games at guard last season and helped Nebraska
make great strides in the running game. He suffered a
ruptured Achilles during winter drills and is hopeful of

SONSECUTIVE SELLOUTS

2007 NEBRASKA FOOTBALL OUTLOOK

regaining full strength by fall.

Christensen (6-3, 300) was NU's top reserve at both guards
early in the season. but moved into the starting lineup late
in the year and finished with six starts. He was sidelined for
much of spring, but will be back on the field for fall camp.

With Slauson expected to move inside to guard, a pair of
bookends figure to man the tackle spots. Junior Lydon Murtha
(6-7, 305) started three games in 2006 after appearing in the
starting lineup three times as a redshirt freshman. Murtha has
the physical ability to be a dominant player, and Nebraska
coaches will be looking for more consistency this fall when
he will likely start on the right side.

Like Murtha, senior tackle Carl Nicks (6-5, 330) has great
physical tools and the ability to be a powerful force up front.
Nicks played in 11 games with two starts after joining NU
from junior college. Nicks is now more comfortable in the
NU offense and coaches expect big things from the projected
starter at left tackle.

Sophomore Jacob Hickman (6-4, 285) missed spring after
off-season knee surgery, but is one of NU's most versatile
performers. He figures to be in the mix for significant playing
time. The front-line players will be pushed by a talented group
of redshirt freshmen performers. Keith Williams should see
action at guard, while D.J. Jones could push for time at
tackle. Fellow freshmen Cruz Barrett (guard) and Mike Smith
(tackle), a converted defensive end, also showed promise in
the spring, Seniors Jordan Picou and Victory Haines will
look to earn playing time inside at guard or center.

Receivers and Tight Ends

Nebraska figures to once again boast a high-powered
passing attack this fall, in large part due to a receiving corps
that returns nearly intact,

New tight ends coach Joe Rudolph welcomes back three
lettermen who combined to make 16 starts and catch eight
touchdown passes last season. Senior J.B, Phillips (6-3, 245)
started 12 games and caught 13 passes, while continuing to
provide strong blocking. Phillips will see a lot of action in an
H-back or fullback role, but also will be on the line asa tightend
inmany sets. Fellow senior Josh Mueller (6-5, 265) provides
NU with a large receiving target and good experience. Junior
Hunter Teafatiller became Nebraska's big-play tight end last
fall, converting four of his five receptions into touchdowns.
Senior Sean Hill owns outstanding physical tools and could
push for playing time after a strong winter and spring, while
redshirt freshman Mike McNeill could add a big-play threat
once he is fully recovered from off-season shoulder surgery.

The Husker receiving corps figures to rank among the best
in the Big 12. Leading the way is senior Terrence Nunn (6-0,
190) who has been astarter since his freshman season. Nunn
ranks second in school history with 101 career receptions and
his 42 catches last fall led Nebraska.

Senior Maurice Purify (6-4, 220) provided Nebraska
with a large, physical receiver that it was lacking prior to the
2006 season. Purify was a playmaker for the Husker offense,
catching seven touchdown passes, while averaging better
than 18 yards per catch en route to second-team All-Big 12
honors. Purify was suspended indefinitely during the summer
and his status was unknown at press time.

Junior Nate Swift has played a considerable amount of
football the past two years, racking up 67 catches, Swift (6-
2, 200) is a dependable wideout who has nine touchdown
receptions in his first two seasons. Senior Frantz Hardy (6-1,
190) has provided the Huskers with a big-play threat the past
two years after joining NU from junior college. Junior Todd
Peterson (6-4, 210) has been Nebraska's most underrated
performer the past two seasons and figures prominently in
NU's plans, Senior Dan Erickson is easily the Huskers’ top
perimeter blocker and will see action this fall.

Sophomores Chris Brooks and Menelik Holt hope to
play more prominent roles in 2007, while redshirt freshman
Will Henry brings great size to the position at 6-5 and 210
pounds. Sophomore walk-on Wes Cammack saw limited
action last season.

Running Backs
The race for the starting fullback job is wide open entering
the fall. Tight end J.B. Phillips will plays some fullback or
H-back. Seniors Matt Senske and Andy Sand have been
little-used reserves during their Husker careers: but could
see action this fall. Redshirt freshman Justin Makovicka (6-
1, 235) comes from a family tradition of fullback success and
could figure into the mix, as could junior Thomas Lawson,
who has focused on |-back for most of his Nebraska career.
Leading the way at |-back is junior Marlon Lucky (6-0, 210),
whoaccounted for more than 1,200 all-purpose yards last fall,
including 728 rushing yards. He ran for six touchdowns and
caught 32 passes out of the backfield. Lucky has the ability
to be an all-conference caliber performer. Lucky focused on
becoming a more complete back during spring practice.
Running backs coach Randy Jordan also welcomes back
junior Cody Glenn (6-0, 230) who has been Nebraska's short-
yardage specialist the past two seasons. Glenn has scored 12
touchdowns in his role the past two seasons and has also shown
the ability to be an every-down back. Glenn battled a foot injury
late last season and missed most of spring as a result.
Senior Kenny Wilson (6-0, 220) was part of the Huskers’
four-man rotation last year, but will miss the 2007 season with
a leg injury, He will fedshirt and hope to return in 2008.
Former safety Major Culbert (6-0, 210) shifted to running
back during bow! workouts and moved to |-back full-time in
the spring. He could be in the mix at I-back and also has the
ability to shift back to defense. Nebraska Welcomed freshman
Marcus Mendoza to the program in January. Amid-year high
school graduate, Mendoza saw significant reps during spring
practice and could help the Huskers in the return game.

The Quarterbacks

Nebraska's quarterback situation drew significantattention
during the spring and will again during fall camp. The race
to replace Taylor as the starter will not be determined until
shortly before the season opener with Nevada.

Junior Joe Ganz performed well while serving as Taylor's
top backup last season, and was strong during spring practice.
The 6-1, 200-pounder has an excellent grasp of the NU offense
and brings good mobility to the position.

Senior Sam Keller joined the NU program last August after
transferring from Arizona State. Keller threw for more than
3,000 yards in his Sun Devil career and owns a strong arm and
excellentleadership skills. Kellerunselfishly served on the scout
team last fall before showing well during spring practice.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S WINNINGEST PROGRAM SINCE 1970

Three other signal callers also hope to stay in the mix for
playing time. Junior Beau Davis has extensive experience
in the Husker offense. Sophomore Zac Lee (6-2, 210) is a
transfer from the junior college ranks who did not see action
in the spring because of a knee injury, but owns a very strong
arm. Patrick Witt (6-4, 220) graduated early from high school
in order to come to Lincoln and begin to learn the Nebraska
offense this spring and was impressive in his debut.

DEFENSE
The Losses

The Huskers worked hard in the spring to replace their
entire starting front four. Defensive end Adam Carriker was
the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft, while fellow end Jay
Moore was a fourth-round pick. Interior linemen Barry Cryer
and Ola Dagunduro each inked NFL free-agent contracts.
Linebacker Stewart Bradley started for three seasons and was
a third-round NFL pick, while safety Andrew Shanle earned
four letters and started at free safety last fall.

Defensive Line

First-year defensive line coach Buddy Wyattand defensive
coordinator Kevin Cosgrove used a number of combinations
up front during spring ball and the battle for starting jobs will
move into fall camp,

On the outside, Nebraska will turn to three juniors to get the
first crack at starting jobs. Barry Turner (6-3, 250) has shown
the ability to be a disruptive pass rusher over the past two
seasons, including racking up six sacks in 2005 to earn freshman
All-America honors. Turnet missed spring ball after shoulder
surgery, bul has the desired speed for the open end spot.

Junior Clayton Sievers made the move to defensive end
after seeing action at linebacker last season and tight end
in 2005. Sievers lined up as the top open end for much of
the spring in Turner's absence. Zach Potter (6-7, 280) has
the size to become a factor at the base end spot, but must
continue to improve his strength and physicality, Potter, who
has been a key performer on the Husker special teams the
past two years, had a solid spring for the Huskers,

Redshirt freshman Pierre Allen (6-5, 265) could also figure
into the mix at base end. Since his arrival on campus last
fall, Allen has added more than 30 pounds and now has the
needed strength to play at the base defensive end spot,

Senior Andy Poulosky has lettered at the spot and also
returns hoping to push for playing time, as do fellow seniors
Tony Sullivan and Thomas Rice. Sophomore David Harvey
(6-4, 255) also made the move from offense last fall and hopes
to push for playing time.

Leading the way on the interioris sophomore Ndamukong
Suh (6-4, 305). Suh showed glimpses of being a dominant
player as the top reserve last season, racking up 19 tackles,
including eight tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks. Suh has the
makings of a future star and played in that manner during
spring ball. He figures to man the nose tackle spot. Senior
Brandon Johnson also lettered in a reserve role last season
and will push for playing time at nose, as will junior college
transfer Shukree Barfield (6-4, 310), who joined Nebraska
at mid-year. He is part of an impressive group of defensive
line recruits that also includes his Garden City (Kan.) CC
teammate Kevin Dixon.

Junior Ty Steinkuhler (6-3, 285) moved inside last fall after
beginning his career at defensive end. Steinkuhler became

part of NU's regular interior rotation and made steady progress
throughoutthe year, finishing with 22 tackles and three tackles for
loss. He is the leader for the starting defensive tackle spot.

Senior Kevin Luhrs has also lettered in a reserve role the
past two seasons and could see action at defensive tackle,
while Nebraska will also look to sophomore Craig Roark and
redshirt freshmen Seth Jensen (6-3, 295) and Ben Martin to
push for playing time. Jensen and Roark were limited during
spring practice after off-season surgeries.

Linebackers

Cosgrove once again returns an impressive group of
linebackers. The linebacking corps features four seniors with
extensive starting experience.

Senior Corey McKeon (6-1, 225) and his 30 career tackles
for loss return to the middle linebacker position. McKeon
had a breakout season as sophomore in 2005, then battled
injuries to post a solid junior campaign last fall. McKeon is
the emotional leader of the Blackshirts and figures to bid for
all-leaque honors as a senior.

Fellow senior Bo Ruud returns fora potential third season
as a starter. Ruud left his two-year home at WILL linebacker
in the spring to try his hand at the SAM position. The 6-3,
235-pound Ruud has good coverage skills and would be a
natural fit to replace Bradley at the spot if Ruud does not
return to WILL. Ruud has a knack for finding the football, as
evidenced by his 65 tackles, two interceptions, two fumble
recoveries and three fumbles caused. He was a first-team
All-Big 12 pick last season,

Twoother outstanding seniors return, Steve Octavien (6-0,
240) has impressive athletic ability, but has been held back
by injuries. Last season Octavien made 32 tackles in limited
playing time and will battle for starting action this fall.

A versatile performer, senior Lance Brandenburgh has
played all three linebacker spots during his Nebraska career.
Brandenburgh started one game in McKeon's place in the
middle of last season. Brandenburgh and Octavien spent
much of spring at WILL linebacker during spring ball, but
either could shift to another spot if needed.

Sophomore MIKE linebacker Phillip Dillard looked
outstanding in the season opener last fall before suffering a
season-ending knee injury, His return adds even more depth to
the NUlinebackers, Sophomore Nick Covey has battled injuries
since arriving in Lincoln, but hopes to push for playing time
this spring, while junior Tyler Wortman and redshirt freshman
Kyle Moore could also figure into the Huskers’ plans.

Secondary

Arguably one of Nebraska's thinnest position groups in
2006, the defensive backfield figures to boast much better
depth for the upcoming season.

Cornerbacks coach Phil Elmassian welcomes back three
seniors with extensive starting experience. Cortney Grixby
(5-9, 170) has been a fixture in the Husker secondary each
of the past three seasons, including the past two years as a
starter. Grixby broke up 11 passes last season and uses his
outstanding leaping ability and speed to offset a lack of size.

Senior Andre Jones (6-0, 190) started alongside Grixby last
season and had a solid first year at Nebraska after transferring
from junior college. Jones stepped intoa starting role immediately
and finished the year with seven pass breakups,

Joining Grixby and Jones as a returning starter is senior

803 ALL-TIME WINS

Zackary Bowman (6-2, 200), who missed the entire 2006
season with a Knee injury, Bowman went down with an
ACL injury during fall camp. He returned for spring ball, but
suffered another setback when he suffered a torn patellar
tendon. Bowman is hopeful of an early-season return and
his presence would give Nebraska a big, physical cornerback
capable of battling larger receivers. Nebraska also added
junior college prospect Armando Murillo at the semester
and Murillo performed well in the spring.

Senior Tierre Green returns after starting the 2006 season
atstrong safety. Green settled into the safety spotafter moving
from running back to cornerback and finally safety over the
past three seasons, Green (6-1, 200) had 65 tackles during
his junior year and brings a wealth of experience to the
secondary. He has the versatility to play either safety spot.

Senior Bryan Wilson saw extensive action as a safety in
the nickel package last season and was one of the Huskers’
most improved performers during spring ball. Sophomore
Rickey Thenarse made his mark primarily as a special teams
headhunter asa true freshman, but will push for playing time at
safety this iall. Sophomore Larry Asante joined the Huskers at
semester and will make a strong push fora starting safety job.
Asante brings a hard-hitting, physical presence to the back
end of the defense.

Senior Ben Eisenhart will also push for playing time and
is another special teams standout for safeties coach and
special teams coordinator Bill Busch. Junior Matt O'Hanlon
has seen the majority of his work on special teams, but could
push for playing time this spring. Redshirt freshman Anthony
West was impressive during spring practice and could play
either cornerback or safety,

SPECIAL TEAMS
The Losses

Nebraska must replace two-year starting place-kicker Jordan
Congdon wholeftthe program in January. Long snapperLane Kelly
handled the starting duties for each of the past four years.

Kickers/Punters

Junior Jake Wesch has handled kickoff duties the past
two seasons and is among the contenders to take over as
the place-kicker. Redshirt freshman Alex Henery and true
freshman Adi Kunalic figure into the mix as well,

Junior Dan Titchener had an outstanding first season
as the Huskers’ starting punter in 2006, Titchener helped
Nebraska rank in the top 25 nationally in net punting and
had just 18 of his punts returned last fall.

Specialists/Return Men

Wesch will again hope to handle kickoff duties and was
also the Huskers’ holder on place-kicking attempts last fall.
Junior T.J. O'Leary handled the long snapping chores for the
second half of the season and returns this fall.

In the return game, NU returns the majority of players who
handled those duties last fall. Seniors Cortney Grixby and
Terrence Nunn have been the top punt returners the past two
seasons and will again be among the candidates to fill that
role this fall. In the kickoff return game, the Huskers will look
for improved production in 2007. |-back Marlon Lucky and
safety Tierre Green are among the players whohave extensive
experience in the kickoff return department. Several others
auditioned for punt and kickoff return duties in the spring.

2007 HUSKERS HOPE TO FEATURE
ANOTHER BALANCED OFFENSE

Nebraska became one of the nation’s most diverse
offensive attacks in 2006, and hopes to produce similar
results this fall. The Huskers were much-improved in nearly
every offensive area, and were one of only three teams in
the country to rank in the top 25 in all four major offensive
statistical categories.

The Huskers finished 14th nationally and third in the Big
12 in total offense at 414.6 yards per game, Those numbers
represented a 94.3-yard improvement over the 2005 season,
when the Husker offense clicked late in the year, The 2005
Huskers finished the season 96th nationally in total offense
at 320.3 yards per game.

The Huskers’ offensive gain was largely attributed to a
vastly improved running attack. In 2005, Nebraska finished
lastin the Big 12 and 110th nationally at 96.0 rushing yards
per game..A year ago, Nebraska had four I-backs combine
for more than 2,400 yards and the Huskers finished 23rd
nationally in rushing offense at 170.5 yards per game, an
improvement of 74.5 yards per contest.

Nebraska also made strong improvements in scoring
offense going from 67th nationally in 2005 to 17th in 2006 at
30.6 points per contest. The Huskers also made a 31-spot
jump in passing offense, improving from 54th in 2005 to
23rd in 2006. The Huskers ranked fifth nationally in time
of possession in 2006, were in the top 20 in third-down
conversions and had more total offensive attempts than any
other team in the country:

Nebraska Offensive Numbers

2005 (Ra 2006 (Rank Gain
Rushing 96,0 ypg (110th) 170.5 ypg (23rd) 74.5 ypg
Passing 224.3 ypg (54th) 244.1 ypg (23rd) 19.8 ypg

Scoring 24.7 ppg (67th) 30.6 ppg(17th) 5.9 ppg

In addition to. Nebraska, Louisville and Oregon were
the only other schools to rank in the top 25 in all four
categories.

RECORD-SETTING RECEIVING CORPS
RETURNS INTACT FOR 2007

Nebraska's switch to a balanced offensive attack three
seasons ago has allowed Husker passers and receivers to
re-write the Nebraska record book. Last season, quarterback
Zac Taylor was the most-publicized beneficiary of the Husker
offense, becoming Nebraska's career leader in passing yards
and touchdowns.

Taylor posted the top two single-season passing efforts
in school history during his two years at Nebraska and the
top five passing games in school history have all come in
the past three seasons, Senior Sam Keller and junior Joe
Ganz are the frontrunners to replace Taylor and push for
more passing records.

While Taylor received most of the attention for his record-
setting passing effort, Nebraska receivers have quietly put
their names ina prominent position in the Husker record
book. That trend will likely continue this fall as the Huskers

return their entire corps of wideouts and three of four tight
ends who saw extensive action last season.

Leading the way are senior Terrence Nunn and junior
Nate Swift. Both players have played a prominent role in the
Nebraska passing altack in Coach Bill Callahan's offense,

Nunn enters his senior season with his sights on the
Nebraska career receptions record, while Swift has two
seasons remaining to place his name among the Huskers’
all-time leading receivers.

A Houston native, Nunn has joined Johnny Rodgers as
the only Huskers to record two 40-receplion seasons in a
career after Nunn posted 43 and 42 catches, respectively,
the past two seasons. Nunn's career receptions total of 101
ranks second only to Rodgers on the Husker charts, 42
caiches behind the 1972 Heisman Trophy winner. Nunn has
also caught a pass in 27 straight games entering 2007, 11
games behind Rodgers’ record 38-game streak. In addition
to his receptions total, Nunn ranks third in school history in
receiving yardage at 1,273 yards, less than 200 yards behind
Matt Davison, who ranks second on the career charts.

Swift seta Nebraska freshman record with 45 receptions
in 2005, the third-best receptions total in school history
regardless of class. His 641 receiving yards that season
ranked fifth on the season charts. He enters 2007 with 67
career Catches, good fora tie for ninth on the NU list and just
26 catches out of third place behind Rodgers and Nunn. His
1,015 career receiving yards also make him one of just 13
Huskers with 1,000 career receiving yards.

Senior Maurice Purify had an outstanding first season at
Nebraska, catching 34 passes for a team-leading 630 yards.
Purify also led the team with seven receiving touchdowns
and averaged 18.5 yards per catch, Purify's 630 receiving
yards marked the sixth-best season total in school history,
while his seven touchdowns tied for fifth place on the single-
season charts.

Senior Frantz Hardy does not possess the same volume
of catches, but boasts two of the most explosive receiving
games in NU history. His 152 receiving yards against Maine in
his Nebraska debut in 2005 rank as the fifth-best single-game
total in school history. Last season, Hardy had three catches
for 159 yards and two touchdowns against Kansas, the No. 4
game on the single-season receiving yards list.

2007 HUSKERS HOPE TO AGAIN
FIND FAST OFFENSIVE STARTS

Nebraska had great success early in games in 2006,
outscoring the opposition 117-45 in the first quarter, allowing
only touchdowns by Oklahoma (2), USC, TexasA&M, Colorado
and Auburn and a field goal by Texas.

A large part of the first quarter success came during
Nebraska's first drive of the game. The Huskers scored on
their first drive of the game eight times in 13 games, including
four straight games from Troy to Kansas State. Nebraska also
scored touchdowns on its opening drives against Nicholls
State, Colorado and Auburn, and kicked a field goal on its
initial drive at Oklahoma State. Nebraska kicked a field goal
on its second drive of the day against Missouri, and scored

This November, Nebraska will face road
tests at Kansas (Nov, 3) and Colorado
(Nov, 23), sandwiched around a home
date with Kansas State (Nov. 10).

HUSKERS HOPE TO EXTEND
SUCCESS IN OPENERS
Nebraska extended the nation's

| longest winning streak in season openers

with its 49-10 victory over Louisiana Tech
last fall. The Huskers have now been on
the winning end in each of their last 21
season openers, dating back to a 17-13
loss to Florida State in 1985,

The Huskers will look to extend the
streak to 22 straight season-opening

, victories against Nevada on Sept. 1.

Nebraska has scored 40 or more points
in a season opener 14 of the past 21
seasons. In that same period, the Huskers
have limited the apposition to 14 points or
less 14 times,

The Huskers’ 21-game win streak in

| season openers is four better than the

17 straight opening wins by both Kansas
State and Florida, The Huskers have won
each of their last 21 season openers by
10 or more points, and own an 86-26-5
all-time record in season openers,

Since 1973, NU is 29-4-1 in season
openers, including 24-2 at Memorial
Stadium, with losses only to Florida State
(1985) and Washington State (1977). In
all-time home openers NU is 95-17-5,
including 67-14-3 at Memorial Stadium.
The Huskers are 31-2 in their last 33 home
openers.

a touchdown on its second drive at Texas A&M.

In games against Troy, Kansas, lowa State and Kansas
State, Nebraska lost the coin toss each week and the
opposition deferred, giving the football to the Huskers,
Nebraska responded by driving for a touchdown and a 7-0
lead in each of the four games.

Nebraska had ball-control drives to open the game against
Troy (10 plays, 73 yards, 5:47), lowa State (10 plays, 80 yards,
5:27), Kansas State (9 plays, 80 yards, 3:54) and Auburn (15
plays, 80 yards, 7:23) while striking quickly against Kansas
(2 plays, 80 yards, ;50),

Nebraska scored firstin 12 of 14 games last season. The
Big 12 Championship Game loss to Oklahoma marked the
only time Nebraska did not score a point in the first quarter.

HUSKERS LOOK TO CONTINUE
SUCCESS AGAINST BIG 12 NORTH

Nebraska earned a trip to the Big 12 Championship Game
in 2006 due largely to its play within the conference's North
Division. The Huskers posted a perfect 5-0 mark within the
division and dating back to 2005, NU has won seven straight
games against North foes,

The seven-game win streak is Nebraska's longest
divisional winning streak since NU won nine straight from
1998 to 2000.. The Huskers won their final North game in
1998, all five in 1999 and the first three in 2000,

Including 2006, in each of the four seasons Nebraska
has represented the North in the Big 12 title game (also
1996, 1997, 1999), the Huskers have posted a 5-0 record in
divisional games. Nebraska was the first North Division team
to complete divisional play undefeated since 2003.

RUUD, MCKEON CLIMBING
NEBRASKA CAREER TACKLES LIST

The Nebraska Blackshirt defense must replace a talented
quartet of starters on the defensive front this fall, However, the
Huskers can lean on an accomplished group of experienced
linebackers to anchor its 2007 defense. A pair of two-year
starters key the linebacking corps in Corey McKeon and Bo
Ruud. Both McKeon and Ruud figure to move well up the
Nebraska career tackle list this fall.

McKeon enters his senior season with 167 career tackles,
including 30 tackles for loss and eight sacks. McKeon
registered a NU linebacker record 22 tackles for loss as
a sophomore In 2005 and earned second-team All-Big 12
honors. Last season, he finished third on the team with 69
tackles and had eight tackles for loss. His career tackle total
places him 43rd at Nebraska, McKeon is 53 tackles from the
top 20 on the tackle list and 81 stops from the No. 10 spot
on the list. His 30 tackles for loss are just 7.5 stops outside
the career top 10 on that list.

Ruud has similar numbers to McKeon after two seasons
as NU's starting WILL linebacker. The Lincoln native finished
2006 with 65 tackles, including seven tackles for loss, while
also intercepting two passes and recovering a pair of fumbles.
Ruud enters his senior year with 162 total tackles and needs
58 tackles as a senior to join his father, Tom, and brother,
Barrell, in the top 20 on the NU tackle list. Barrett is the
Huskers’ all-time leader with 432 tackles.

GRIXBY TO LEAD EXPERIENCED
DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD

Senior cornerback Cortney Grixby js the most seasoned
veteran in a much deeper and more experienced 2007 Husker
secondary. Grixby is one of four seniors who return with
extensive starting experience, He is joined by fellow corners
Andre Jones and Zackary Bowman who hopes to return to
action by October after a pair of knee injuries. Senior safety
Tierre Green is also back for his senior year.

The 5-9, 170-pound Grixby is in exclusive company in
the Nebraska record book, He currently ranks sixth in school
history with 25 career pass breakups. The five cornerbacks
Grixby trails. on the list, led by Ralph Brown, all spent time in
the National Football League after their Husker careers.

DEMANDING SCHEDULE AWAITS
2007 HUSKERS

Nebraska will face one of the nation's toughest schedules
In 2007, Among Nebraska's 12 regular-season contests,
eight will be against teams that participated in a bowl game
following last season, including Bow! Championship Series
participants Wake Forest (Orange Bowl) and USC (Rose),
Nebraska's non-conference schedule opens with a visit from
Nevada (MPC Computers) and also includes a home contest
against Ball State.

In league play, Nebraska will open against lowa State
on Sept. 29 and also face home games against three bow!
teams, including Oklahoma State (Independence), TexasA&M

will face a pair of bowl teams in trips to Missour| (Sun) and
Texas (Alamo). The Huskers also face North Division road
tests at Kansas and Colorado.

The Huskers’ home schedule figures to be among the
nation’s best. Highlighted by a visit from likely preseason
No. 1 USC on Sept, 15, the Huskers will face five 2006 bow!
teams in Lincoln, one of just 13 schools to face five or more
bowl teams on their home field this fall, including just two Big
12 schools,

MCKEON’S CAREER STATISTICS

MEET THE HUSKERS

LINEBACKER

2007 OUTLOOK

Corey McKeon (pronounced Mc-CUE-in) returns for his
senior season after anchoring the Blackshirt defense from
his middle linebacker spot each of the past two years. As a
senior, McKeon should contend for conference and national
honors as part of a veteran linebacking corps that will form
the strength of the Blackshirt defense.

The 6-1, 225-pound McKeon has started 25 games
over the past two seasons and earned Big 12 accolades
as both a sophomore and junior. As a sophomore, he had
a breakout season that resulted in second-team All-Big
42 honors. Last fall, McKeon battled injuries, but his play
earned him honorable-mention all-league recognition.

The Naperville, lll., native has outstanding speed for
the linebacker position and a knack for being around the
football. In addition, McKeon is a free spirit who figures to
be the emotional leader of the 2007 defense.

McKeon is joined in the NU linebacking corps by fellow
seniors Bo Ruud, Steve Octavien and Lance Brandenburgh.
As a group, the four senior linebackers have started 52
career games.

McKeon enters his senior season in position to continue
his climb in the Nebraska record books. He will enter the
2007 campaign with 167 career tackles, good for a spot in
the top 50 on the NU charts, and in position to make a push
for the all-time Husker top 10.

After serving as a reserve in 2004, McKeon won the
starting MIKE linebacker job during 2005 fall camp and
proceeded to have a breakout season. He led the Huskers
in tackles with 98 stops and set an NU linebacker record
with 22 tackles for loss.

As a junior, McKeon finished third among Blackshirt
tacklers with 69 total stops, while also registering eight
tackles for loss, His play helped Nebraska rank second in
the Big 12 and in the top 25 nationally in scoring defense.

Before earning his starting job, McKeon saw the field in
one game asa redshirt freshman. He recorded his first career
interception in the season opener, but did not see the field
again in 2004. He redshirted in his first season in 2003.

McKeonis a communication studies major, and isone of 23
Husker seniors scheduled to graduate by this December,

2006 (JUNIOR)

McKeon started each of the 13 games he appeared in at
the middle linebacker position. Despite suffering a mid-season
ankle injury against Kansas State, McKeon missed only one
game and ranked third on the team with 69 tackles. He made
atleastone tackle in every game, including 11 games with four
or more tackles, highlighted by a season-best nine tackles in

NAPERVILLE, ILL,

(NORTH) * 3 LETTERS
three games-at USC, Kansas and Oklahoma.

His eight tackles for loss tied for fifth on the squad, and he
added one sack, three pass breakups and two quarterback
hurries. McKeon also forced one fumble and recovered
another. McKeon's play netted him honorable-mention All-Big
12 honors from the conference coaches.

McKeon opened the season with a pair of four-tackle
efforts in victories over Louisiana Tech and Nicholls State.
In NU's win over Nicholls State, the Huskers did not allow a
pass completion for the first time in 14 seasons, and McKeon
had a tackle for loss and recovered a fumble.

The Husker linebackers excelled in a 28-10 loss at No. 4
USC, combining for 28 tackles, including nine by McKeon,
He added four tackles in a 56-0 win over Troy, marking the
Blackshirts’ first shutout since 2003.

In an overtime victory over Kansas in Lincoln, McKeon led
the Huskers with nine tackles, while adding a pass breakup and
a quarterback hurry. He also forced a second-quarter fumble
that stopped a Jayhawk drive at the Nebraska 2-yard line.

McKeon made six stops in a 28-14 victory at lowa State,
as the Huskers limited ISU to just 53 yards rushing, A week
later, McKeon suffered an ankle injury and left Nebraska's 21-3
victory at Kansas State in the third quarter. After the injury he
played at less than full strength for the rest of the season,

Against Texas, McKeon made a pair of tackles despite
his injury. He made his 21st straight start at Oklahoma State
and recorded four tackles. The ankle injury forced him to
miss Nebraska's North Division victory over Missouri, but
McKeon returned to action for the season’s final four games
and finished on a strong note.

He made a pair of tackles for loss in two straight games
against Texas A&M and Colorado. McKeon totaled six tackles
in a 28-27 win over the Aggies, then had six tackles against
Colorado, including his first sack of the season. One of his
two tackles for loss against the Buffs also resulted in a third-
quarter safety that gave Nebraska a 23-14 lead.

McKeon added his third nine-tackle game of the season
in the Big 12 Championship Game against Oklahoma. The
Husker defense was outstanding in the contest, limiting
Oklahoma 82 yards below its season rushing average.

McKeon capped his junior season with five tackles,
including a tackle for loss and a fumble caused in the Cotton
Bowl against Auburn. The Blackshirts limited Auburn to just
178 yards and 12 first downs in the game.

2005 (SOPHOMORE)

McKeon had a breakout season for the Huskers in 2005
after replacing Nebraska's all-time leading tackler, Barrett
Ruud. McKeon emerged from a spirited battle for the

first year of significant action.

He finished 2005 with a team-high 98 tackles, including five double-figure efforts, and
led the team with 22 tackles for loss. He added seven sacks, three interceptions, eight
pass breakups and 11 quarterback hurries. McKeon had at least one tackle for loss in

played a key part in Nebraska leading the nation with 50 sacks and 124 tackles for
loss. The Blackshirt defense also ranked in the top 30 nationally in total defense,
scoring defense, rushing defense and pass efficiency defense.

McKeon's performance earned him postseason recognition. He was a second-
team All-Big 12 pick by the Associated Press, Kansas City Star and Dallas Morning
News, while the league's coaches gave him honorable-mention accolades.

In his first career start, McKeon had 10 tackles, including three for loss, in the

WIDE RECEIVER * SR.
2007 OUTLOOK

Senior wide receiver Terrence Nunn has been a dependable
performer in Nebraska's offensive attack each of the past three
seasons. Nunn has played in all 37 games since he arrived
on campus and his impact has been significant.

Nunn enters his senior season in position to challenge
several Nebraska receiving records. The Houston native was
the Huskers’ top receiver in 2006, and is the veteran leader of
an NU receiving corps thatreturns intact for the 2007 campaign.
The 6-0, 190-pounder enters the fall as the leading candidate
to retain the starting job at the “Z” receiver spot.

Astarter in 27 of 37 career games, Nunn caught a team-
high 42 passes as a junior. His 42 receptions came on the
heels of a 43-catch effort as a sophomore, giving Nunn two
of just eight 40-catch seasons in Husker history.

Nunn owns 101 career receptions, second on the Husker
career list, 42 receptions behind NU record holder and 1972
Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers. Nunn ranks third in school
history in receiving yardage with 1,310 yards and is likely to
move into second on that list during his senior season

Nunn has had consistent production throughout his career,
including an active streak of catching a pass in 27 straight
games. That string is the second-longest in school history,
trailing only Rodgers’ 38-game streak.

In addition to his receiving abilities, Nunn has emerged
as a top-flight punt returner during the past two seasons. A
year ago, he returned 18 punts for an 8.5-yard average. In
2005, Nunn was a first-team All-Big 12 performer as a punt
returner after averaging 18.3 yards per return, a figure that
ranked third in the nation.

Nunn started all 12 games in 2005 and his seven touchdown
catches tied teammate Nate Swiftfor the most scoring catches
by a Huskerin 13 seasons. Nunn quickly jumped up the depth
chart after arriving for 2004 fall camp and started six games
asa freshman. His startin the season opener marked the first
time since World War || an NU offensive skill player started
the first game of his true freshman season.

Nunnisalsoon the verge of completing his academic career
at Nebraska. A sociology major, Nunn in on track to graduate
this December, achieving his degree in just 3 1/2 years.

2006 (JUNIOR)

Nunn continued his ascension on the Nebraska receiving
charts during the 2006 season. Nunn finished the season
with a team-high 42 receptions for 597 yards and three
touchdown catches.

He became only the 13th Husker to break the 1,000-yard
career mark early in the season, and caught more than one
pass in all but two games, including five contests with at
least four receptions.

282 CONSECUTIVE SELLOUTS

Nunn totaled a season-high five catches against both
Louisiana Tech and Texas and broke the 100-yard barrier for
the first time in his career with 102 yards on four catches against
Troy. Nunn also hauled in a career-long 75-yard reception to
score NU's opening touchdown against Kansas less than one
minute into the contest. In addition to the TD catch against KU,
he added scoring receptions against Missouri on a reverse
pass from fellow wideout Maurice Purify and opened the
scoring with a touchdown against Colorado.

Nunn again played a key role in Nebraska's punt return
game. He returned a team-high 18 punts for an average of
8.5 yards per return. Nunn had a season-long 31-yard punt
return against USC that set up a first-quarter field goal.

Nunn opened the year with five catches against Louisiana
Tech, then hauled in three passes in a win over Nicholls State.
He added a 27-yard punt return against the Colonels, a week
before his season-long return at USC.

The two-week stretch against Troy and Kansas was the
most productive of Nunn's career. He combined for seven
receptions for 200 yards in the two games, including a 67-
yard catch against the Trojans. A week later he moved past
1,000 career receiving yards with 98 yards against Kansas,
including the 75-yard touchdown,

Nunn caught five passes against Texas to move into third
place on the career receptions list, while also moving into the
top 10 on the yardage list. Against Missouri, Nunn nabbed his
second touchdown of the year on a 28-yard pass from Purify
during a fake end-around play in the first quarter.

Nunn moved past Irving Fryar on the career receptions
chart with three catches at Texas A&M. He then capped
the regular season with four receptions for 52 yards and a
touchdown against Colorado, In the process he moved into
second place on the career receptions list.

Nunn reached the century mark in receptions with four
catches for 37 yards against Oklahoma in the Big 12 title
game. He closed the year with one catch for eight yards in
the Cotton Bow! against Auburn.

2005 (SOPHOMORE)

Nunn staried all 12 games at the °Z” receiver spot, and
developed into an outstanding offensive threat for the Huskers.
Nunn was one of Zac Taylor's favorite targets and Nunn
finished the year with 43 catches, the fourth-most in school
history. He compiled 495 receiving yards, an average of 11.5
yards per catch, and caught seven touchdown passes, tying
teammate Nate Swift for the team lead.

A consistent performer from start to finish, Nunn caught
at least one pass in each of Nebraska's 12 games, including
seven games with four or more receptions. Nunn snagged a
career-best eight receptions against lowa State. He finished

3 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

the year in strong fashion with at least four catches in each of the final five games.

Nunn teamed with fellow Husker sophomore Cortney Grixby to give Nebraska
an excellent punt return unit. NU finished the season ranked 17th nationally in punt
returns, averaging 12.9 yards per attempt. Nunn was a major factor in that ranking,

as he finished third nationally In punt returns with an 18.3-yard average. N

first-team All-Big 12 selection as a punt returner by the Austin American-Statesman
and the Kansas City Star. He also earned honorable-mention All-Big 12 honors
from the Associated Press as an all-purpose player and was honorable-mention

campand proceeded to puttogether an all-conference season

12 honors from the league coaches, just two seasons after his
older brother Barrett received all-conference honors.

for All-Big 12 and All-America honors and is on the watch
lists for the Lombardi Award and Lott Trophy.

Ruud is in position to make a move up the Nebraska
career tackles list. He enters 2007 with 162 career tackles,
good for a spot in the top 50 on the chart and in position to
make a push for the all-time Husker top 10, The Ruud family
has an impressive place on the list, as older brother Barrett
is first with 432 career tackles, while Bo's father, Tom, is
26th on the list. As a family, the Ruud’s have combined for
796 career tackles.

Ruud stepped into a starting role in week two of his
sophomore season and went on to earn honorable-mention
All-Big 12 honors, He finished the year with 80 tackles and tied
for third on the team with a career-high 14 tackles for loss,

a pair of double-figure efforts. He totaled a career-high 15
stops against Kansas State and tied the Nebraska linebacker

freshman season with 17 tackles while playing a key role on
special teams. Ruud redshirted in his first season at Nebraskain

Atalented cornerback with NFL ability, Bowman missed the
entire 2006 season with an ACL injury in his left knee.

Bowman worked diligently throughoutthe year torehabilitate
his knee and returned to the field in time for spring drills.
However, Bowman was sidelined once again after rupturing
the patellar tendon in his right knee midway through spring
practice. The initial timeline for Bowman's recovery was 4
1/2 to six months, putting him on track to return sometime
between mid-August and the first of October.

Bowman's return would bolster an already veteran Husker
secondary that returns three starters from 2006, including
both starting cornerbacks. At 6-2 and 200 pounds, Bowman
possesses prototypical size for an NFL cornerback. He also
has great leaping ability and posted an NU cornerback record

the start of the season, then earned a Blackshirt and moved
into the starting lineup for the final five games. On the year,
he played in 11 games, and finished with 27 total tackles,
while leading the team with 14 pass breakups

game, picking off his second career pass in the third quarter,
while setting a Husker bow! record with five pass breakups.
He sealed the Alamo Bowl victory on the game's final play,
assisting on a tackle after a wild sequence of laterals,

The play of Bowman in the late part of the season helped
Nebraska improve to 10th nationally in pass efficiency defense.
With Bowman in the starting lineup, NU’s final five opponents
connected on a combined 45.8 percent of their passes.

Bowman was also a key performer on Nebraska's special
teams units, serving as a gunner on the punting unit, helping
Nebraska to a No. 2 national ranking in net punting.

BEFORE NEBRASKA (NEW MEXICO

MILITARY/BARTLETT HS)

Bowman was regarded as one of the nation’s top junior
college recruits in 2005 after a standout career at New

touchdowns. Bowman had 18 pass breakups as a freshman,
then had just four breakups as a sophomore when teams

2007 OUTLOOK

Senior center Brett Byford returns to anchor an experienced
Husker offensive line in 2007. The 6-3, 300-pound Byford was
one of the surprises of Nebraska's 2006 season, going from
little-used reserve to a top-level Big 12 center by the close
of the season.

Byford is expected to again hold down the middle of a
talented Nebraska offensive line that returns three starters
for 2007. An honorable-mention All-Big 12 pick in 2006,
Byford is expected to be among the league's top centers this
season, and should continue Nebraska's storied tradition at
the position. He has been named to the preseason watch list
for the Rimington Award, named in honor of former Husker
great Dave Rimington.

Anative of Hartselle, Ala., Byford played a key role in the
Huskers’ drastic offensive improvement a year ago. Byford
had played in just one game in his career entering the season,
but was thrust into action when two-year starter Kurt Mann
was sidelined because of illness in September. Byford went
on to start the final 13 games and helped pave the way for
a Nebraska offense that finished in the top 25 nationally in
rushing, passing, scoring and total offense.

Byford played in one game as a reserve offensive lineman
in 2004, but did not see game action in 2005. He redshirted
in 2003. A psychology major, Byford will complete his
undergraduate work in December.

and average nearly 415 yards per game. The Huskers also
topped 180 yards on the ground eight times in 2006. Byford
also played a key role in the record-setting season of senior

Cornerback Andre Jones was thrust into immediate action
for Nebraska last season shortly after joining the Husker
program. Jones was expected to battle for a starting job after
joining the Huskers from the junior college ranks. However,
his timeline was accelerated when returning starter Zack
Bowman was lost for the season with a knee injury.

Jones stepped in and started the entire season at the strong
cornerback spot and was among Nebraska's leading tacklers.
This spring, Jones performed well as he battled to retain his
starting job in a much deeper Husker secondary,

In addition to fellow returning starter Cortney Grixby,
Nebraska also welcomed Bowman back into the cornerback
mix before a second knee injury caused another setback for
him, Bowman is expected back early in the season, giving
Nebraska one of the Big 12’s best cornerback groups.

The 6-0, 200-pound Jones was strong in his initial season
with Nebraska, collecting 74 tackles and ranking second on
the team with seven pass breakups.

In addition to standout play at Fresno City Community

2007 OUTLOOK

Nebraska offense each of the past two seasons. This fall, Lucky
\s expected to take the next step and is the leading contender
to become the Huskers’ featured running back.

Lucky is one of three returning members of the Huskers’
2006 running back committee. In addition to Lucky, fellow junior
Cody Glenn is expected to see significant action, while senior
Kenny Wilson will miss the season because of a leg injury.

The 6-0, 210-pound Lucky is NU's top returning rusher,
having gained 728 yards as a sophomore. He possesses
breakaway speed and outstanding field vision. In addition to
his running abilities, Lucky is a multi-dimensional threat, also
making an impact as a receiver and kickoff return man.

In addition to ranking second on the team in rushing yards,
Lucky caught 32 passes for 383 yards and averaged better
than 19 yards on eight kickoff returns. He finished second on
the team with 1,264 all-purpose yards, an average of better
than 90 per game, just outside of the top 10 in the Big 12. He
surpassed 100 all-purpose yards six times on the year,

season, Lucky's performance did not go unnoticed. He was
a second-team All-Big 12 selection as an all-purpose player
by the Associated Press, and was an honorable-mention
all-conference choice by the Big 12 coaches.

that totaled more than 2,400 rushing yards and 26 touchdowns.
Lucky finished the year with six rushing touchdowns, and also
had at least one reception in 13 of 14 games. His performance
helped Nebraska rank in the top 25 nationally in all four major
statistical categories, including 14th in total offense.

Lucky topped 100 yards on the ground twice, and had
five games with 70 or more yards. His first game surpassing
the century mark was a 103-yard effort on 18 carries against
Nicholls State. He had his top performance of the season
in the 56-0 win over Troy, rushing 10 times for 156 yards to
earn Big 12 Offensive Player-of-the-Week honors. Lucky had
iouchdown runs of 34, 45 and 51 yards in the game. Lucky's
15,6 yards per-carry average was the best for a Husker with
at least 10 carries in a game since the 1995 season.

Lucky picked up 71 yards on 12 carries at Kansas State and
had his fourth TD run of 34 yards or more with a 40-yarder in
the third quarter. Lucky ran three times against Texas, but his
biggest play came in the fourth quarter, when he completed a
halfback pass to Nate Swift for a 25-yard scoring strike. The
pass was one of two attempts for Lucky on the year.

Huskers’ most experienced players and figures to be a leader
for the Nebraska offense. Phillips has been in the starting
lineup at tight end 24 times in the past three years and has

NU offense become one of the nation's most balanced units.
The Huskers finished in the top 25 nationally in all four major
statistical categories, including 14th in total offense. The tight
ends helped provide blocking for a much-improved running
attack that averaged better than 170 yards per game.

OFFENSIVE LINE

2007 OUTLOOK

Matt Slauson emerged as one of Nebraska's top young
players on the offensive line during his sophomore season,
This year Slauson returns to help anchor a much deeper and
more experienced Husker line that is expected to provide the
push for a high-powered offensive attack.

The 6-5, 335-pound Slauson is a powerful and versatile
performer who could fill a starting role at either guard or
tackle. After starting 11 games at right tackle last fall, Slauson
focused his attention primarily on the guard position during
spring ball, working as the No. 1 right guard. This fall,
Slauson figures to team with fellow juniors Mike Huff and
Andy Christensen to give Nebraska an experienced group
of offensive guards.

Slauson started the first 11 games of the 2006 season at
right tackle before suffering an ankle injury late in the year.
Slauson is one of seven returning offensive linemen who drew
at least one start in 2006.

Slauson was honored for his performance in 2006, as he
was a second-team All-Big 12 performer according to several
media outlets, including the Associated Press. He was also an
honorable-mention all-conference pick by the Big 12 coaches.

joined the program just before fall camp in 2005. He quickly
picked up the Huskers’ West Coast Offense blocking system
during his first season in Lincoln. He was one ofa school-record
13 true freshmen to see action and played in nine games
overall, while starting the final three regular-season games.

Slauson joined the NU program after a standout career at
Air Force Preparatory School in Colorado Springs.

2006 (SOPHOMORE)

Slauson was entrenched as the Huskers’ starting right
tackle during the first 11 games of the season. He suffered a
leg injury that forced him to miss the final two regular-season
games other than extra-point team duty. He returned to action
on the line in the Cotton Bowl, but was limited.

When healthy, Slauson was one of the driving forces behind
an improved and balanced Nebraska offense that ranked
among the nation’s leaders in both rushing and passing and
finished 14th in total offense.

Slauson helped clear the way for NU's four-man |-back
committee to combine for more than 2,400 yards rushing
and 26 touchdowns. From his right tackle spot, Slauson
also helped provide sufficient protection for quarterback
Zac Taylor to break most of the Huskers’ single-season and

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR * STH YEAR *

A nationally-recognized advocate for college football,
Steve Pederson has spearheaded the efforts to help all
Nebraska athletes obtain the highest levels of success in
athletics, academics and life since being named his alma
mater's 12th athletic director on Dec. 20, 2002.

The past academic year was likely one of the most rewarding
for Pederson, as his belief of placing opportunity in the hands
of the student-athlete led to exceptional performances
in all three areas. No better examples can be found
than Sarah Pavan
(volleyball) and Dane
Todd (football), who
each carried a 4.0
grade-point average
while competing at
the highest level
in their sport. After
leading Nebraska
to its third national
title in history, Pavan
earned the Honda
Broderick Cup as the
nation's top collegiate
woman athlete, a \\
first for a Nebraska
student-athlete, as
well as the Big 12
Female Athlete of the
Year. Todd was a first-team all-conference fullback and two-
time academic All-American before earning the prestigious
Walter Byers Postgraduate Scholarship, the highest
academic honor bestowed on athletes by the NCAA.

Pederson's leadership and guidance in the ever-changing
world of college athletics has provided benefits for more than
just Nebraskans.

On the national level, Pederson's vision to improve
football across the college landscape has shown through
during his time as chairman of the NCAA Football Issues
Committee starting in 2006. He has been a vocal leader in
the effort to give football players a fifth year of eligibility and
has pursued changes that would allow for an early signing
period in football, In May 2007, Pederson also served as the
keynote speaker at the NCAA Expert Coaches Academy,
which addresses the critical shortage of ethnic minorities
in head coaching positions in the sport of college football,
primarily at the Division | level.

During his tenure at Nebraska, Pederson has also
assisted in shaping the Big 12 Conference's future image. He
was a key figure in the renegotiation of the league's television
package in 2007, which continues the Big 12's association
with ABC/ESPN in football and provides broader exposure to
men's basketball coverage while providing greater financial
resources for all league schools.

Pederson oversees a fiscally-sound athletic department
that operates on a budget of just over $70 million. With annual
giving at an all-time high, it has given Pederson the chance
to push Nebraska to the forefront of the recruiting scene with
the addition of world-class facilities.

Pederson's ultimate vision for the Husker Nation

Athletic Director Steve Pederson, the chairman of the NCAA Football Issues
Committee, works tirelessly to improve football across the college landscape.

SECUTIVE SELLOUTS

NEBRASKA (1980)

Championship Drive came to completion in 2006 when the
Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex was opened in
August. Along with the Hawks Championship Indoor Center
and new outdoor practice fields as well as the expansion of
Memorial Stadium to a capacity of more than 80,000 for the
first time in history, the $50 million expansion project provides
an impressive support network for Husker athletes.

The Osborne Athletic Complex is the showcase piece
of the project. The complex benefits all Nebraska student-

= athletes and includes
the finest training,
sports nutrition and
athletic medicine
facilities in the nation
in the Charles and
Romona Myers
Performance Center.
The new football
offices overlook the
modern weight facility
situated across from
the athletic medicine
area with its high-tech
rehabilitation services
and a state-of-the-art
hydro-therapy pool.

Since his arrival,
Pederson has made
a priority of improving Nebraska's facilities not only to assist
coaches in recruiting but to ensure the Husker Nation fan-
friendly environments at all Nebraska venues. Improved fan
amenities at Memorial Stadium include increased numbers of
concessions stands and restrooms, improved seating options
for the disabled and a concourse-level connector that brings
the North Stadium together with the East and West. Fans also
enjoy one of the nation’s largest big screens during college
football's most grand entrance, the Tunnel Walk.

The new facilities benefit some of the top athletic squads
in the country. During the 2006-07 seasons, 17 of Nebraska's
23 varsity sports competed in postseason competition while
eight finished the year ranked in the national top 25.

The football program continued to make strides toward
the top of the Big 12 in 2006 by winning the North Division
and making its first appearance in the Big 12 Conference
title game since 1999. The Huskers finished with nine wins
while four of their losses came against top-10 opponents.
NU concluded the season against No. 8 Auburn in the
Cotton Bowl, NU's first New Year's Day bowl appearance
in five seasons. After a record-setting season, Zac Taylor
was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year while
defensive end Adam Carriker, a first-round NFL selection,
was the league's defensive lineman of the year.

Also leading the way was the Husker volleyball team.
Making its second straight national title game appearance, the
Huskers picked up the 23rd national title in athletic department
history in front of a record crowd of more than 17.000 fans in
Omaha. Pavan earned the top honors in the sport as she was
named national player of the year on the court and academic
All-American of the year in the classroom.

(a a

3 HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS

Pavan wasn't alone in the national spotlightas Amanda Burgoyne earned national
player-of-the-year honors while helping the bowling team to a third-place finish at the
national tournament. Bowling was one of five Nebraska squads to earn top-10 national
team finishes in 2006-07 along with volleyball, rifle (fifth), women's gymnastics (sixth)
and men's gymnastics (10th).

The wrestling team also placed 16th nationally behind the outstanding performance
of Paul Donahoe, who became the ninth national champion in program history.
Donahoe led 28 Nebraska student-athletes , including 19 underclassmen, who earned
37 All-America certificates last season.

Pederson has pushed the Huskers to uphold their unparalleled tradition and
remain at the forefront in the classroom as well as on the field. Last year, nine
Cornhuskers earned CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, raising Nebraska's
NCAA-leading total to 248, 64 more than the closest school. Over two semesiers
last year, 525 student-athletes earned Big 12
Commissioner's Honor Roll accolades with a
3,0 or better grade-point average, while 131
Huskers claimed academic All-Big 12 honors
and 95 earned their degree.

Pederson is an award-winning athletic
director with experience at four prominent
Division | schools. A tireless worker with
a contagious winning attitude. Pederson
has implemented his vision for the future
of Nebraska, which includes three vital
components to success: a staff that will outwork
the competition; enhancing facilities in order to
attract the nation’s best student-athletes; and
a unified approach to enable student-athletes
to succeed in all facets of life.

Nebraska's championship tradition has
been built by outstanding student-athletes
and coaches over the years, but Pederson
believes the foundation of Nebraska's
success is its fans — not only the 1.7 million
people who call the state home, but also
fans who support NU from around the nation.
Pederson’s driving force comes from the core
values of the Husker Nation and the principles
of champions: Tradition, Teamwork, Integrity.

From creating the nation's first
comprehensive strength program to its nationally renowned academic support
system, Nebraska has always been at the forefront in providing unmatched resources
for Its student-athletes. Pederson is continuing that tradition as he has shown the
foresight and vision needed to ensure long-term success for athletic programs, both
at Pittsburgh and Nebraska.

Pederson's efforts have the interests of the student-athletes in mind. He has
implemented support programs to aid student-athlete’s academic, athletic, personal
and professional development. In order to assist student-athletes with their
posigraduation pursuits, he worked with Assistant Athletic Director for Student Life
Keith Zimmer to enhance Nebraska's nationally recognized Life Skills program.
They created the Life Skills Award for the team that demonstrated the strongest
commitment to all phases of the life skills program, including outreach, education
and leadership.

According to Pederson, one crucial area in building a championship athletic
department is to have coaches who not only possess strong leadership skills and
the vision to run a program, but also the integrity to follow Big 12 and NCAA rules.

In January of 2004, Pederson hired Bill Callahan to lead the Husker football program
back to elite status. Recognized nationally as one of the brightest minds In football,
Callahan came from the NFL's Oakland Raiders, where he led the franchise to an
AFC title and a berth in Super Bowl XXXVI in his first season as head coach. Under
Callahan, the Huskers took another step toward a Big 12 and national championship
in 2006, winning the North title and earning a spot in a New Year's Day bowl,

Pederson made an inspired hire with the selection of Doc Sadler as men's
basketball coach in August 2006. Known throughout the coaching ranks as a fierce
competitor and outstanding recruiter, Sadler quickly rejuvenated the under-appreciated
program and excited fans and alumni alike with his charm and quick wit.

A firm believer in the philosophy that hard work pays off, Pederson was given his
first chance at leading a Division | program when he was hired as athletic director at
the University of Pittsburgh in 1996, A young and relatively unknown commodity at
the time, Pederson returned the Panthers to the national spotlight in just six years.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S WINNINGEST PROGRAM SINCE 1970

Pederson is credited with turning around the Pittsburgh athletic program. As a result
of his hard work and effective leadership style, Pederson was named the recipient of
the 2002 General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award, annually presented by
the All-American Football Foundation for outstanding administrative achievement.

Pederson helped construct several new facilities at Pittsburgh, including shaping the
vision of the Petersen Events Center, a convocation center that provided Pittsburgh
with one of the finest college basketball arenas in the country. Behind Pederson’s
efforts, the Panther football team was blessed with the Duratz Athletic Complex and
the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, a practice venue that opened in 2000. In
2001, the Panthers debuted Heinz Field, a new facility the football team shares with
the Steelers.

During his tenure at Pittsburgh, Pederson hired six coaches who combined to
earn Big East Coach-of-the-Year honors in football, men's basketball, women's
basketball, volleyball, baseball and
track and field. Under Pederson's
head coaching hires, the football team
made three straight bow! appearances,
including two victories, while the men’s
basketball team went on to gain back-
to-back Sweet 16 berths.

In his first stint at Nebraska,
Pederson helped negotiate the original
football contract with adidas in 1995
and oversaw the recent completion
of a new contract that will supply all
Husker teams with adidas apparel
through 2010.

Pederson and his wife, Tami, both
earned degrees from the University of
Nebraska. Steve earned his bachelor's
degree from Nebraska in business
administration in 1980 and began his
career at Nebraska, first as a sports
information assistant (1980-81) and
then as football recruiting coordinator
(1982 to 1986). He returned as the
associate athletic director for football
operations from 1994 to 1996.

As the Husker associate athletic
director for football, Pederson oversaw
the refurbishment of the football administrative offices, and the construction of a new
halftime meeting room, postgame interview room and players and coaches locker
rooms. He reorganized the program's administrative wing and played a definitive
role in Nebraska's three national championships in the 1990s (1994, 1995 and 1997)
under Head Coach Tom Osborne.

Pederson left the state in 1988 to serve as Ohio State's recruiting coordinator until
1991, then moved on to the University of Tennessee to devote three years as the
athletic administrator for football, In three seasons, the Volunteers’ recruiting classes
were regarded among the nation’s top three nationally by several publications.

Pederson has been active on several committees. He is currently a member
of the NCAA Football Issues Committee and Post-Season Bowl Licensing Sub-
Committee, as well as the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame
District Screening Committee, While at Pittsburgh, he served as the chairman of the
Big East Conference Executive Committee.

A member of the Nebraska Athletics senior administration since May 2003, Marc
Boehm (pronounced BAME) serves as Executive Associate Athletic Director and is
the top assistant to the athletic director, Boehm fulfills the director's responsibilities
in his absence and also serves as the department's chief operating officer.

Boehm oversees the efforts of several areas within athletics, including marketing
and media relations. He also provides guidance to HuskerVision and Nebraska's
Internet presence, Huskers.com, while assisting the athletic director on special
projects, including television and radio contracts.

As the primary administrator for the NU basketball programs, Boehm played an
integral role in the hiring process when Athletic Director Steve Pederson selected
Doc Sadler to be the Huskers’ new coach on Aug, 8, 2006. Sadler had the Huskers
on the brink of the postseason in the final weeks of the campaign and then signed a
recruiting class ranked among the top 15 in the nation by several services.

Boehm has worked tirelessly with Fox Sports Net and the Big 12 Conference to
provide the men's team with an extensive television package each of the past three
seasons, His efforts in providing a fan-friendly atmosphere at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center have also led to an increase of nearly 35 percent In attendance at
women's games over the past four seasons,

Under Boehm's guidance, the teams have combined for six postseason
appearances in the past four years. The women's team made its first NCAA
Tournament appearance under Coach Connie Yori and seventh in school history in
2007, the fourth straight year the Huskers made it to the postseason after advancing
to the second round of the WNIT three straight seasons. The men have seen recent
success as well, reaching postseason play twice during Boehm's tenure.

Boehm's efforts to enhance NU's gameday atmosphere were not restricted to
the basketball programs, He was instrumental in conceptualizing and developing
the Husker Nation Pavilion, which quickly became the premier pregame event
around home football games.

Boehm also took the lead role in obtaining First National Bank and Ameritus as
premier sponsors for the Nebraska Athletic Department for a combined deal worth
more than $7 million overa three-year period, First National Bank and Ameritus joined
ALLTEL, Pepsi and adidas as premier corporate sponsors for Husker athletics.

Boehm held the same position under Pederson at Pittsburgh from 1997 to 2003.
Boehm assisted in the rise of the Panthers’ basketball program with the men’s team
posting back-to-back Sweet 16 appearances in the NCAA Tournament. During
construction of the Panthers’ new athletic facilities, Boehm played a central role
in Pitt's athletic teams moving to the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, Heinz
Field and the Petersen Events Center.

Boehm served as interim athletic director at Pittsburgh for nearly five months
before coming to Nebraska. During that time, he hired new men's (Jamie Dixon) and
women's basketball (Agnus Berenato) and soccer (Sue-Moy Chin) head coaches
for the Panther program. Under Dixon's direction, the Panthers have advanced
to six straight NCAA Tournaments, while Berenato has rejuvenated the women's
program with its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2007.

Joe Starkey of the Pittsburgh Tribune Review praised Boehm for the outstanding
basketball hires, writing in a 2006 article, "Credit Marc Boehm with a key assist
here. ... He was Pitt's interim athletic director after Steve Pederson left, and it was
under his watch that Berenato and men's basketball coach Jamie Dixon were hired.
That's a pretty good legacy."

Boehmalso spent five years as associate executive director of the Tostitos Fiesta
Bowl. He directed and managed a 125-member fund-raising committee of Arizona
business people responsible for generating more than $4.5 million in cash and in-
kind partnerships. Previously he spent four years as associate executive director
and public relations director of the Sun Bowl from 1987 to 1991.

Born in Grand Island, Boehm earned his bachelor's degree in communications
from Kansas State in 1984 and added a master's degree in sports management
from St. Thomas (Fla.) University in 1985. Boehm and his wife, the former Janelle
Broderick of Minot, N.D., have three boys, Broderick, Christian and Lukas John.

THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME

The University of Nebraska is well represented at the National
Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame in South
Bend, Ind. With 13 former NU players and six former coaches, 19
Huskers have been honored with induction. Most recently, 1983
Heisman Trophy-winning |-back Mike Rozier (pictured at right),
joined the Husker contingent in 2006. He was officially enshrined
in the Hall of Fame in the summer of 2007. Three former Huskers
were inducted into the hall of fame in 1951 , with former All-America
tackle Ed Weir claiming the honor as the first Husker player
enshrined, while coaches Fielding Yost and Dana X. Bible were
also inducted that year. Coach Tom Osborne, inducted in 1998,
is the most recent Husker coach enshrined in the hall. Bob Brown, Guard (1961-63)

> Hall of Fame Coach
> Athletic Director (1967-93)

> Two National Titles (1970, 1971)

One man tops the list of people responsible for the success of the University
of Nebraska athletic teams—Bob Devaney. For 35 years he was the driving force
behind the University of Nebraska championships, first as a Hall of Fame football
coach (1962-72), then as Athletic Director (1967-93) and Athletic Director Emeritus
(1993-96).

Devaney retired in 1996 and lived in Lincoln until he passed away at the age
of 82 on May 9, 1997.

Although Devaney no longer has a physical presence at Nebraska, his mark will
remain forever. The memories of the storybook national championship seasons
of 1970 and 1971 will inspire generations of Husker fans for years to come. His
commitment to building one of the nation's best all-around athletic programs is
reinforced with every athletic and academic honor earned by Husker student-
athletes. And his legacy continues with the passing of each successful season.

From the time he took over athletic director duties for Tippy Dye in 1967, to
his final year as athletic director in 1993, his vigor, enthusiasm and administrative
excellence earned him a reputation as one of the nation's outstanding athletic
directors. Those same characteristics helped make him a football coaching legend.
A 1981 inductee into the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of
Fame, under Devaney’'s leadership Nebraska developed one of the nation's most
successful all-around athletic programs.

Devaney arrived in Lincoln in 1962, after posting a 35-10-5 (.750) five-year record
at Wyoming. During his 11-year stintas Husker football coach, Devaney's teams won
101 games, lost only 20 and tied two for an .829 winning percentage. His career
mark of 136-30-7 (.806) ranked him as the nation's winningest active coach at the
time of his retirement in 1973, and he ranks 11th on the all-time list today, six spots
behind the man he tabbed as his replacement, Tom Osborne.

In all, his Husker gridiron teams won eight Big Eight titles and two national
championships (1970, 1971) and went to nine bow! games. He wound up with
three straight Orange Bowl wins, two Outland Trophy winners, a Lombardi Award
winner and a Heisman Trophy winner. Twice his teams won four consecutive Big
Eight titles, 1963-66 and 1969-72.

HEAD COACH | 1973-97

> Hall of Fame Coach
> Three National Titles (1994, 1995, 1997)

The words were inscribed on Memorial Stadium’s northwest corner some 14
years before he was born; “Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are
the true awards of manly sports.” How fitting then, that the field inside that historic
stadium is now called Tom Osborne Field, in honor of a man, who in 25 seasons
on the Husker sideline built a total program based on more than winning.

His era of excellence receives another lasting tribute when the new Tom and
Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex opens in 2006.

Osborne's coaching career came to a poetic end in the 1998 Orange Bowl. In
his final game, the Huskers defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 42-17, giving him a share
of a third national title in his final four seasons. The victory left Osborne as the first
coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion, along
with the nation’s best active winning percentage (.836, 255-49-3), which ranked
fifth all-time among Division | coaches.

Osborne guided the Huskers to back-to-back titles in 1994 and 1995, then capped
his career by sharing the 1997 title with Michigan. Nebraska's back-to-back national
titles in 1994-95 made Osborne the first coach to accomplish that feat since Bear
Bryantled Alabama to titles in 1978-79. Under Osborne, NU became just the second
school all time and the first since Oklahoma in 1955-56 to post back-to-back perfect
national championship seasons. In fact, Osborne's last five Nebraska teams put
together the best five-year run in collegiate football history with an amazing 60-3
record, including five consecutive 11-win seasons.

Osborne-coached Nebraska teams captured 13 conference crowns, including six
of his last seven seasons on the sideline. All 25 of his Husker teams won at least
nine games and went to a bowl, while 15 won 10-or-more games. Achievements
of that magnitude earned Osborne an immediate ticket to the College Football Hall
of Fame in December of 1998, after it waived the customary three-year wait for
entrance into the hall. He is one of only two coaches (along with Eddie Robinson
of Grambling) to have the three-year waiting period waved.

A Hastings, Neb., native, Osborne served Nebraska for three terms in the U.S,
House of Representalives as a congressman from the third district.

NATIONAL ACADEMIC HONORS

CoSIDA Academic | 1995-Rob Zatechka, OT

Se — =

Grant Wistrom, a two-time All-American on the field and in the classroom, won the Lombardi Award and the

NCAA Top Eight Award in 1997. He was also named a National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of
Fame Scholar-Athlete. After leading NU to three national titles, Wistrom played in three Super Bowls.

NATION-LEADING 15 NCAA TOP EIGHT AWARDS

The highest honor the National Collegiate Athletic Association can bestow on a
student-athlete is The Top Eight Award. The award is based not only on outstanding
athletic accomplishments, but on excellent academic records and leadership ability
in community and campus activities.

The University of Nebraska earned its NCAA-leading 15th Top Eight Award last
January, when gymnast Richelle Simpson was honored at the NCAAhonors dinner.
Simpson, the NCAA All-Around Champion in 2003 and a nine-time All-American,
was Nebraska's first Top Eight Award honoree since 2002,

The Husker football program has nine of Nebraska's 15 Top EightAward winners,
most recently All-America rush end Grant Wistrom who was a 1998 honoree.
Wistrom's selection gave Nebraska nine Top Eight honorees in the 1990s, Two
Huskers received the award in both 1990 and 1991, the only times that a school
had more than one student-athlete honored, Nine of Nebraska's Top Eight picks
were football players, making the Husker grid program the most decorated in the
country.

In the 1990s, six Husker football players were awarded the Top Eight honor,
including Aaron Graham (1996), Rob Zatechka (1994), Alberts (1994), Pat Tyrance
(1991) and Jake Young (1990). Randy Schleusener (1981) was the first Husker to
win the award, followed by Rimington (1983) and Mark Traynowicz (1985).

Nebraska's success in the classroom also extends to other sports. Along with nine foatball players who have won the

HUSKERS IN NFL HISTORY

Bob Brown (2004) is the most recent Husker in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bob Devaney's first All-American

at Nebraska in 1963, Brown spent 10 seasons in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, the Los Angeles Rams
and the Oakland Raiders. Brown (No. 64), who also had his jersey retired by NU in 2004, joined Tom Novak (No.
60) as just the only players in Nebraska history to have their numbers permanently retired.

HUSKERS IN THE PRO FOOTBALL HALL OF FAME (3)

Three former Huskers have earned places among the
greatest football players of all time in the hallowed halls
of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

Alegend at Nebraska, Guy Chamberlin became the
premier end of the NFL during the 1920s. He was a
player-coach on four NFL championship teams (1922-
24, 1926), He concluded his six-year coaching record
with a 56-14-5 (.780) record,

Chamberlin, who was affectionately referred to as
"The Champ," earned All-America honors at Nebraska
in 1915, before playing and coaching professionally
from 1920 to 1927.

Roy "Link" Lyman pioneered a more sophisticated
defensive play with a shifting, sliding style. He starred
on four title teams (1922-23, 1924, 1933), and played

HUSKERS IN THE SUPER

on one losing team in 16 seasons of college and
professional football

Lyman, who played professionally for Canton,
Cleveland, Frankford and Chicago from 1922 to 1934,
lettered as a tackle at Nebraska in 1918, 1919 and
1921.

Nebraska's most recent addition to the Pro Football
Hall of Fame celebrated his induction in 2004. Bob
Brown, who joins Chamberlin as the only Huskers
in both the College and Pro Football Halls of Fame,
was the first All-American to play for Bob Devaney at
Nebraska in 1963.

Brown spent 10 years in the NFL, including five
seasons with Philadelphia, three with the Los Angeles

Nebraska has had 45 former Huskers make 58 appearances in the Super Bowl dating back to Super Bowl II
following the 1967 season. Huskers have appeared in 28 of the 41 Super Bowls.

MEMORIAL STADIUM HISTORY

Nebraska's continuing NCAA record of consecutive
home sellouts reached 282 with seven home sellouts
in 2006,

The Huskers unveiled the newest additions to
Memorial Stadium before the 2006 season, More
than 6,500 seats were added to the stadium's North
end, along with a massive HuskerVision screen and
Skyline Suites. The additions sit atop Nebraska's new
Osborne Athletic Complex, which houses the Huskers’
technologically advanced athletic medicine facility,
massive weight room, and sparkling new football locker
room, football offices and administrative offices. The
first phase of the project also provided the Huskers
with a second indoor workout facility, the Hawks
Championship Center.

The additions pushed Nebraska's capacity above
80,000 for the first time, and in the 2006 season finale,
a Memorial Stadium record crowd of 85,800 witnessed
the Huskers' triumph over Colorado.

Nebraska's average home attendance for 2006
was a school-record 85,044, as nearly 600,000 fans
watched the Huskers in Memorial Stadium last year,
Overall, nearly 1.1 million fans saw the Huskers in
person last year.

NU's streak of consecutive sellouts started on Nov,
3, 1962, when 36,501 attended the Homecoming game
against Missouri, The last non-sellout came Oct. 20,
1962, when NU and Kansas State drew 30,701.

In the fall of 1922, a drive for $430,000 in stadium
construction funds was undertaken by faculty, students,
alumni and friends of the University, The quota was
over subscribed. The stadium was named Memorial
Stadium to honor all Nebraskans who served in the
Civiland Spanish-American Wars; the 751 Nebraskans
who died in World War |; the 3,839 in World War II; the
225 in Korea; the 422 in Vietnam; and those in Iraq.
Construction was completed in a few more than 90
working days and Memorial Stadium was dedicated
on Oct. 20, 1923, at the Homecoming game in which
Nebraska was held to a scoreless tie by Kansas.

Inscribed on the four corners of the stadium are
the following words, written by former UNL professor
of philosophy Hartley Burr Alexander:

Southeast: "in Commendation ofthe men of Nebraska
who served and fell in the Nations Wars."

Southwest: "Notthe victory butthe action; Not the goal
but the game; In the deed the glory."

Northwest: "Courage; Generosity; Faimess; Honor; In
these are the true awards of manly sport."

Northeast: "Their Lives they held their countrys lrust;
They kept its faith; They died its heroes,"

facilities at the University of Nebraska, several major
projects have been completed throughout the past 80
years enhancing the facility, The $1 million Hewit Center
dining/study hall area was opened in March of 1985,
underneath the West Stadium adjacent to the strength
complex. The weight room and the Hewit Center were
expanded and remodeled in 1989.

Before the fall of 1994, NU installed two 17 feethigh,
by 23 feet wide replay boards, now known to Nebraska
faithful as HuskerVision screens.

Following the 1997 season, construction began on
a$36-million improvement project completed in 1999.
The projectincluded the Don Bryant Media Facility and
42 suites, each of which house 25 fans, Club seating

NEBRASKA IN THE AP POLL

The Associated Press poll began in 1936, and Nebraska
came in at No. 15 in the first-ever regular-season poll on
Oct. 24, The Huskers finished with a No. 9 final national
ranking that year. From 1936 through 1949, the AP polls
did not come out until October, Beginning in 1950, AP polls
were issued weekly throughout the entire regular season,
Until 1964, all final rankings are based on regular-season
finishes and do not include bow! game results. In 1965,
the AP final rankings became post-bowl rankings (with
the exception of 1966), In 1974, the UPI final ranking also
became post-bowl, and since then all final rankings have
included bow! results.

COMPLIANCE GUIDELINES FOR FANS

The University of Nebraska Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Big 12 Conference rules and
guidelines that govern Division | competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans
and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Huskers
throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that
apply to all athletic representatives and boosters.

NCAA Principles

Institutional Control

It is the responsibility of the University of Nebraska to control its intercollegiate athletic
program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA.

Responsibility

The University of Nebraska's responsibility for the conduct of its program includes
responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other
individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests
of the institution,

Compliance

The University of Nebraska must monitor its program to assure compliance and to
identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved.
An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective
actions as determined by the NCAA.

NCAA Definitions

Athletic Representative/Booster

You are considered to be a University of Nebraska athletic representative if you:

“Are a present or pasi member of a University of Nebraska booster club or agency that
promotes the Huskers’ intercollegiate athletic program;

»Have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletic booster
organization of the University of Nebraska:

»Are, or have been, providing benefits (e.g., summer jobs, meals etc.) to enrolled student-
athletes, their family members or friends:

»Are, or have been involved in any manner of promoting the University of Nebraska
intercollegiate athletic program.

Please note: Once an individual is identified'as an athletic representative, that person retains that identity

indefinitely. The University of Nebraska is ultimately responsible for (he acts of all "representatives of
athletic interests” in relation to NCAA rules and regulations.

The Devaney Society

Achieving greatness in both the classroom and on the playing field has long been a
goal of the University of Nebraska, Our nalion-\éading 248 academic AllsAmericans and 23
team national titles reflect the manner in which We strive to achieve to the highest level,

Rising costs has made funding these athletic scholarships increasingly difficult. To
help offset the expenses, the University of Nebraska established an athletic scholarship
endowment fund to honor Hall of Fame Football Coach Bob Devaney.

Follow in the footsteps of Coach Devaney and commit to the long-term success of
Nebraska Athletics. We are sincerely grateful to those who committed to our future stability
and established a Devaney Society Scholarship for male and female student-athletes.

Officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution, In
addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective
student-athlete if the institution or a Nebraska booster provides the individual or the
individual's relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution
does not provide to prospective students in general, A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL
STUDENTS as prospects.
